dispatch-codex-sub

name	dispatch-codex-sub
description	Dispatch an in-thread Codex subagent. Use only for "$dispatch-codex-sub", "subagent", "sub-agent", "in-thread helper", or "multi-agent subtask". Do not use for "peer agent".

Dispatch Codex Subagent

Start a Codex subagent inside the current thread. This is the multi-agent helper path, not a peer Codex thread.

Hard Distinction

Use this only when the user explicitly asks for a subagent, sub-agent, or $dispatch-codex-sub.

Do not use this for:

• "peer Codex agent"
• "peer agent"
• "separate Codex agent"
• "new Codex thread"

Those mean dispatch-codex.

Procedure

1. Keep the delegated task concrete, bounded, and parallelizable.
2. Do not hand off the immediate critical-path blocker if the current agent can do it faster locally.
3. Give the subagent a clear write scope.
4. Say that other agents may be editing the repo and unrelated changes must be preserved.
5. Continue non-overlapping local work while the subagent runs.

Prompt Shape

Implement <bounded subtask>. Own <files/modules>. Other agents may be editing
the repo; do not revert unrelated changes. Run <targeted checks>. Report changed
files and unresolved decisions.
