name	codex
description	Delegate coding work to the Codex CLI. Use for isolated implementation, review, or refactor tasks when Codex is installed and the target directory is a git repo.

Codex CLI

Use Codex through explicit shell commands and keep it inside a known git repository.

Prerequisites

• codex is installed
• credentials are configured
• the working directory is a git repo

Recommended Pattern

• Short task: exec
• Long task: exec_background then exec_poll
• Recovery: exec_list
• Stop: exec_kill

Good Uses

• one-shot code generation in a temp repo
• review work in disposable clones
• narrow, well-specified bug fixes

Rules

• Prefer isolated directories for risky work
• Review the diff yourself after Codex finishes
• Re-run lint, typecheck, and tests yourself
• If the installed Codex CLI requires an interactive mode that does not behave well in exec, use a different approach
