What problem does it solve? Claude Code sessions spend significant context and tokens on hands-on implementation, bulk code exploration, and mechanical fixes. This Skill routes that hands-on work to Codex CLI so Claude focuses on specification, design, review, and verification. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task Routing Gate: Applies only in Claude Code sessions and explicitly refuses to self-delegate from Codex or other harnesses. - Scoped Delegation: Sends implementation from frozen specs, bug fixes with known repros, test writing, CI fixes, and bulk codebase exploration to codex exec with prompts written via temp files. - Resume-Based Iteration: Supports follow-up fixes through codex exec resume --last to preserve context cheaply across rounds. - Claude-Side Verification: Requires reading the full diff, running focused tests, and taking over after two failed delegation rounds. - Use Case: You have a frozen spec for a refactor across a repo. Claude writes the work-order prompt, Codex executes it with --yolo, and Claude reviews the resulting diff like a contributor PR before shipping. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to use the codex-first workflow to delegate a scoped implementation task to Codex CLI and then review the resulting diff.
