Codex CTO — Inverted Orchestration

Codex plans and reviews. Claude Code executes. This inverts the codex-orchestrator pattern: instead of Claude Code delegating to Codex subagents, Codex directs Claude Code as the engineering team.

Protocol

1. CTO plans   →  cto-invoke.sh plan "<objective>"
2. You execute  →  native tools (Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Glob, Grep)
3. CTO reviews  →  cto-invoke.sh review "<objective + results>"
4. Loop         →  if "revise", fix and re-submit for review (max 5 iterations)

Step 1: Get the Plan

Run the plan phase with the user's objective:

~/.claude/skills/codex-cto/scripts/cto-invoke.sh plan "<OBJECTIVE>" [--model MODEL]

Parse the returned JSON. It contains:

• objective — what to accomplish
• analysis — CTO's assessment of the codebase
• strategy — high-level approach
• tasks[] — ordered task list with IDs, actions, targets, descriptions, acceptance criteria, and dependencies
