What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured workflow to diagnose and resolve issues preventing the Codex VS Code extension from spawning or connecting to a local Codex agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnose Connection Failures: Pinpoint why the VS Code extension cannot communicate with the local Codex agent.
  • Identify Configuration Conflicts: Detect issues arising from custom CLI configurations or outdated binaries.
  • Use Case: When a developer updates the Codex VS Code extension or the CLI and subsequently encounters errors like "Cannot spawn a Codex agent," this Skill guides them through the necessary checks to identify the root cause, such as a mismatched chatgpt.cliExecutable setting.

Quick Start

Use the investigation-codex-vscode-extension skill to troubleshoot why the Codex VS Code extension is not connecting to the local agent.
