OpenAI Codex Agent Delegation

Use this skill to delegate tasks to the Codex CLI agent.

When to Use

• User wants background long-running operations
• User needs batch processing of multiple issues
• Tasks that are well-defined and self-contained

Usage

# One-shot task
codex run "Add input validation to all API endpoints"

# Background mode
codex run --background "Migrate database schema to v2"

# Batch processing
for issue in $(gh issue list --label "good-first-issue" -q '.[].number'); do
  codex run "Fix issue #$issue"
done

Process

1. Define: Write a clear task description
2. Execute: Run codex with the task
3. Monitor: Check progress for background tasks
4. Review: Verify the output
5. Commit: Accept or reject changes
