AI Daily Digest
Use this skill when the user wants a current AI digest or roundup in Codex.
This is a thin Codex wrapper around claude/ai-daily-digest/skills/ai-daily-digest/SKILL.md. Reuse the source workflow, references, scripts, and eval material from the Claude skill directory instead of maintaining duplicated Codex copies.
Use This Skill
- Use this skill when the user wants a current AI digest or roundup in Codex.
Do Not Use This Skill
- Do not use this skill for timeless explanations that do not need current-source verification.
Source Material
- Source skill:
claude/ai-daily-digest/skills/ai-daily-digest/SKILL.md
- Source directory:
claude/ai-daily-digest/skills/ai-daily-digest/
- Codex metadata:
agents/openai.yaml
Load only the source files needed for the current task. Do not recreate or copy the Claude-side bundled resources into this Codex skill.
Workflow
- Treat
claude/ai-daily-digest/skills/ai-daily-digest/SKILL.md as the source workflow and adapt it to Codex conventions. Where it spawns a research subagent per phase, run those per the "Codex execution notes" below - inline by default.
- When the source skill refers to bundled references, read them from
claude/ai-daily-digest/skills/ai-daily-digest/references/ as needed.
- Because this task depends on current events, browse for up-to-date sources before drafting and use concrete dates in the result.
- Keep publication to Notion or another sink as a separate step after the digest content is correct.
Codex execution notes - subagent spawning
The source workflow spawns a Claude Agent research subagent per phase (or per batch of independent phases). Codex subagent fan-out is fragile - as of mid-2026 the default agents.max_threads is 6, completed subagents do not free their slot unless explicitly closed (openai/codex#22779), and subagents can finish without returning their payload (#16051). Therefore:
- Default: sequential / inline. Run each research phase yourself in turn - browse and gather sources, hold the findings in context, move to the next phase - then synthesize the digest. This sidesteps the thread cap and the slot-leak and handoff bugs.
- Optional parallel mode (only if the user asks and has raised
agents.max_threads). Fan out only independent phases, cap concurrency at <= 5, close_agent each research agent as soon as it returns (completion alone does not free the slot), and verify each returned its sources before synthesizing - re-run any missing one inline. Never assume all spawned agents reported.
- Use native agent tools only for agent state (
spawn_agent / wait_agent / close_agent); do not run nested codex exec, and do not use shell for agent orchestration.
Codex Notes
- Ignore Claude-only frontmatter and runtime wiring such as
allowed-tools, user-invocable, $ARGUMENTS, and CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR.
- Infer inputs from the user request and local context before asking follow-up questions.
- If a source script or networked command fails because of sandbox restrictions, rerun it with escalation and a short justification.
- For destructive or irreversible actions, confirm intent unless the user was already explicit.
Verification
After any fix or state-changing action, rerun the narrowest relevant validator, script, listing command, or source check and compare the before/after result.
- Re-check the key output, diff, command result, or rendered text after you act.
- If the task changed files or external state, rerun the narrowest relevant validator, script, listing command, or source query.
- Report what was verified, what remains unverified, and any residual risk.
Examples
User: "Use AI Daily Digest for this task."
Assistant: Opens `claude/ai-daily-digest/skills/ai-daily-digest/SKILL.md`, loads only the needed source references or scripts, adapts the workflow to Codex conventions, and completes the task.
User: "Apply the AI Daily Digest workflow here."
Assistant: Reuses the source material from `claude/ai-daily-digest/skills/ai-daily-digest/` instead of relying on duplicated Codex-side resources.
