name	discuss-with-codex
description	Use codex/codex-reply as a persistent second-engineer thread for non-trivial uncertainty — design choices, risky implementation decisions, debugging when stuck, review, spec ambiguity, needing a current/authoritative web_search, or any point where you'd otherwise guess. Keep one thread and iterate; don't treat the first answer as gospel.

Codex is a colleague, not an oracle. Use it to test your reasoning.

Gather local context first. Read the relevant files, diff, spec, logs, or failing output before asking.
One thread, many turns. Start with codex; continue the same thread with codex-reply + its threadId.
Send the real artifact. The diff, spec line, stack trace, test output, or concrete options — not a paraphrase.
State your current read. What you think, what you're unsure of, and the decision you need.
Push back. Add the missed constraint, challenge assumptions, ask what would change its recommendation.
Omit the model override. Inherit the configured default; never guess a model id (a stale id errors).
