usecli-codex

Overview

Use OpenAI Codex CLI as an external worker inside a Claude Code workflow.

Best for:

• implementation-oriented feedback
• code-aware review
• execution-heavy coding tasks

Install

This sub-skill can be installed independently:

skill install https://github.com/Harzva/usecli-codex

Or manually:

git clone https://github.com/Harzva/usecli-codex.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
ln -s $(pwd) ~/.claude/skills/usecli-codex

Command

bash ~/.claude/skills/usecli-codex/scripts/usecli-codex.sh --prompt "<prompt>"

Or with a prompt file:

bash ~/.claude/skills/usecli-codex/scripts/usecli-codex.sh --prompt-file <path>

Verification

Run the local smoke test:

bash ~/.claude/skills/usecli-codex/tests/test_wrapper.sh

Environment Variables

Variable	Purpose	Default
USECLI_CODEX_BIN	Codex executable	codex
USECLI_CODEX_MODEL	Model override	(none)
USECLI_CODEX_OUTPUT_FILE	Last message output	(none)
USECLI_CODEX_TIMEOUT	Timeout seconds	(none)

Good Fits

• When you need OpenAI-family reasoning in a specific task
• When the control plane stays in Claude Code but you want Codex for code execution
• When you want implementation-oriented review of a design or plan

Notes

• Uses codex exec --skip-git-repo-check in non-interactive mode
• Requires local Codex CLI installation and authentication
• For first-time setup, see the official Codex documentation
