Cowork Codex Workflow
Use the bridge MCP tools when Fable needs Codex as a research worker, implementation worker, second reviewer, or parallel delegation lane.
Rules:
- Preserve returned bridge job ids and Codex thread ids.
- Prefer host paths for
cwd; if Cowork has a /sessions/<user>/mnt/... path, pass it through and let the bridge map it.
- For overlapping same-file edits, use one write-capable Codex job at a time.
- Read-only review jobs can run concurrently.
- Use the configured default profile unless the work is inspection-only.
- Pass an explicitly supplied
--profile through to the MCP tool.
- Use
codex-prompting before codex_delegate when the user request is broad, multi-step, write-capable, research-heavy, or likely to need verification.
- Use separate Codex jobs for parallel lanes.
- Manage delegated jobs with
/status, /result, and /cancel when using slash commands.
- Use
codex_job_status with bounded wait_seconds rather than tight polling loops.
- Use
codex_job_result for final output and return Codex output verbatim unless the user asks for a summary.
- Use
/allowlist or codex_cwd_allowlist when the user wants to inspect, add, remove, or replace configured workspace folders.
