LLM Codex Readiness Integration Test
This skill runs a multi-stage integration test to validate agentic execution quality. It always runs in execute mode (no read-only mode).
Outputs
Each run writes to .codex-readiness-integration-test/<timestamp>/ and updates .codex-readiness-integration-test/latest.json.
New outputs per run:
agentic_summary.json and logs/agentic.log (agentic loop execution)
llm_results.json (automatic LLM evaluation)
summary.txt (human-readable summary)
Pre-conditions (Required)
- Authenticate with the Codex CLI using the repo-local HOME before running the test.
Run these in your own terminal (not via the integration test):
HOME=$PWD/.codex-home XDG_CACHE_HOME=$PWD/.codex-home/.cache codex login
HOME=$PWD/.codex-home XDG_CACHE_HOME=$PWD/.codex-home/.cache codex login status
- The integration test creates {repo_root}/.codex-home and {repo_root}/.codex-home/.cache/codex as its first step.
Workflow
- Ask the user how to source the task.
- Offer two explicit options: (a) user provides a custom task/prompt, or (b) auto-generate a task.
- Do not run the entry point until the user chooses one option.
- Generate or load
{out_dir}/prompt.pending.json.
- Use the integration test's expected prompt path, not
prompt.json at the repo root.
- With the default out dir, this path is
.codex-readiness-integration-test/prompt.pending.json.
- If
--seed-task is provided, it is used as the starting task.
- If not provided, generate a task with
skills/codex-readiness-integration-test/references/generate_prompt.md and save the JSON to {out_dir}/prompt.pending.json.
- The user must approve the prompt before execution (no auto-approve mode). Make sure to output a summary of the prompt when asking the user to approve.
- Execute the agentic loop via Codex CLI (uses
AGENTS.md and change_prompt).
- Run build/test commands from the prompt plan via
skills/codex-readiness-integration-test/scripts/run_plan.py.
- Collect evidence (
evidence.json), deterministic checks, and run automatic LLM evals via Codex CLI.
- Score and write the report + summary output.
Configuration
Optional fields in {out_dir}/prompt.pending.json:
agentic_loop: configure Codex CLI invocation for the agentic loop.
llm_eval: configure Codex CLI invocation for automatic evals.
If these fields are omitted, defaults are used.
Requirements
- The LLM evaluator must fail if evidence mentions the phrase
Context compaction enabled.
- Use qualitative context-usage evaluation (no strict thresholds).
What this test covers well
- Runs Codex CLI against the real repo root, producing real filesystem edits and git diffs.
- Executes the approved change prompt and then runs the build/test plan in-repo.
- Captures evidence, deterministic checks, and LLM eval artifacts for review.
What this test does not represent
- The agentic loop may use non-default flags (e.g., bypass approvals/sandbox), so interactive guardrails differ.
- Uses a dedicated HOME (
.codex-home), which can change auth/config/cache vs normal CLI use.
- Auto-generated prompts and one-shot execution do not simulate interactive guidance.
- MCP servers/tools are not exercised unless explicitly configured.
Notes
- The prompts in
skills/codex-readiness-integration-test/references/ expect strict JSON.
- Use
skills/codex-readiness-integration-test/references/json_fix.md to repair invalid JSON output.
- This skill calls the
codex CLI. Ensure it is installed and available on PATH, or override the command in {out_dir}/prompt.pending.json.
- If the agentic loop detects sandbox-blocked tool access, it now writes
requires_escalation: true to {run_dir}/agentic_summary.json and exits with code 3. Re-run the integration test with escalated permissions in that case.
