SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you offload repetitive, spec-driven engineering work to Codex CLI so Claude can stay focused on architecture, judgment, and review instead of mechanical execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe delegation: Decide when a task should be handed to Codex instead of being done manually.
  • Launcher-based execution: Enforce the approved launcher flow, prompt-file input, background runs, retries, and status checks.
  • Scope control: Keep Codex within intended files and prevent accidental edits to infra, config, or unrelated assets.
  • Workflow hygiene: Standardize prompts, commits, and post-run verification for routine development, data handling, and research tasks.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to delegate a routine multi-file coding task to Codex using the launcher, then return the run status, changed files, and commit summary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate routine coding tasks to Codex CLI from Claude Code?▼

You can delegate routine coding tasks to Codex CLI by asking the assistant to use the launcher flow, providing prompt-file inputs, and letting it run background execution with retries and status checks for safe delegation.

What is spec-driven implementation delegation for multi-file tasks?▼

Spec-driven implementation delegation offloads deterministic, multi-file engineering work to Codex CLI, allowing Claude to focus on architecture and review while ensuring scope control and commit hygiene guardrails.

How do I prevent Codex from editing unrelated files during automated workflows?▼

To prevent accidental edits during automated workflows, the Skill enforces scope control that keeps Codex CLI within intended files, stopping unauthorized modifications to infra, config, or unrelated assets.

Can I use Codex delegation for data processing and research tasks?▼

Yes, Codex delegation applies to data processing, research, bulk edits, and other deterministic multi-file tasks, standardizing prompts and post-run verification for routine development workflows.

Do I need a specific launcher to execute Codex CLI tasks in the background?▼

Yes, launcher-based execution is required to enforce the approved flow, which includes prompt-file inputs, background runs, retries, and status checks for safe and standardized task completion.

What are the limitations of using Codex delegation for engineering work?▼

Codex delegation is limited to deterministic, spec-driven routine work; it should not replace Claude's judgment for architecture and review, and requires strict scope control to avoid unintended file edits.
