A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-ai-integration-phase.
- Treat all user text after
$gsd-ai-integration-phase as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
- If no arguments are present, treat
{{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.
B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:
Parameter mapping:
header → header
question → question
- Options formatted as
"Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
- Generate
id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores
Batched calls:
AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]
Multi-select workaround:
- Codex has no
multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.
Execute mode fallback:
- When
request_user_input is rejected or unavailable, activate TEXT_MODE: append --text to {{GSD_ARGS}} so the workflow's built-in text-mode branching takes over. Present every AskUserQuestion call as a plain-text numbered list, then stop and wait for the user's reply. Do NOT pick a default and continue (#3018 / #3808).
- You may only proceed without a user answer when one of these is true:
(a) the invocation included an explicit non-interactive flag (
--auto or --all),
(b) the user has explicitly approved a specific default for this question, or
(c) the workflow's documented contract says defaults are safe (e.g. autonomous lifecycle paths).
- Do NOT write workflow artifacts (CONTEXT.md, DISCUSSION-LOG.md, PLAN.md, checkpoint files) until the user has answered the plain-text questions or one of (a)-(c) above applies. Surfacing the questions and waiting is the correct response — silently defaulting and writing artifacts is the #3018 failure mode.
C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:
Schema detection (required first step): Codex exposes two spawn_agent schemas:
- agent_type-capable schema (e.g.
multi_agent_v2): spawn_agent accepts agent_type, message, reasoning_effort, fork_context, etc. — typed GSD agent dispatch is available.
- Generic schema (
multi_agent_v1): spawn_agent accepts only message, items, fork_context — there is no agent_type field. Typed GSD agent dispatch is unavailable in this session.
Before spawning, inspect the spawn_agent tool's visible parameter schema (via tool_search or the tool list) to determine which form is active.
Typed mapping (agent_type-capable schema only):
Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
Agent(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
Task(model="...") → omit. spawn_agent has no inline model parameter;
GSD embeds the resolved per-agent model directly into each agent's .toml
at install time so model_overrides from .planning/config.json and
~/.gsd/defaults.json are honored automatically by Codex's agent router.
- Resolved
reasoning_effort="low|medium|high|xhigh" (xhigh is a GSD/Codex tier, not a generic runtime enum) → pass reasoning_effort
to spawn_agent when the runtime/tool supports it. Omit missing, empty,
inherited, or unsupported values; do not invent one-off effort literals in
workflow prose.
fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks
Task(isolation="worktree") / Agent(isolation="worktree") → no direct Codex mapping.
Codex spawn_agent does not create or bind a git worktree automatically.
Workflows that require this isolation must fail closed or use an explicit
manual worktree protocol before spawning (#3360).
Generic-agent workaround (multi_agent_v1 schema — NO agent_type field):
When only the generic multi_agent_v1 schema is available, typed GSD agent dispatch
(gsd-planner, gsd-executor, etc.) is NOT possible. This is a known Codex limitation
(openai/codex#15250). This workaround is NOT equivalent to typed gsd-planner/gsd-executor
execution — GSD agents carry project-aware prompts, audit logging, and workflow context
that a generic subagent lacks. Use the following fallback:
- Resolve your active Codex config root — the directory that contains your
config.toml.
This directory is determined in priority order: $CODEX_HOME (if set), the path given
by --config-dir (if passed on invocation), a local .codex directory in the current
project (if --local was used), or the default global config directory. Read
agents/<agent-name>.toml relative to that config root to extract the agent's system
instructions.
- Inject those instructions as a role-preamble into a generic
spawn_agent(message=...) call.
- Label results and logs clearly as "generic-agent workaround" so the orchestrator and user
know full typed-agent guarantees are not in effect.
- Where typed dispatch is mandatory for correctness (e.g. worktree isolation), fail closed
and report the schema limitation rather than silently degrading.
Spawn restriction:
- Codex restricts
spawn_agent to cases where the user has explicitly
requested sub-agents. When automatic spawning is not permitted, do the
work inline in the current agent rather than attempting to force a spawn.
- In some Codex sessions, multi-agent tooling can be deferred. If
spawn_agent
is not currently visible, discover tools first via tool_search before
defaulting to inline execution.
Parallel fan-out:
- Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs →
wait(ids) for all to complete
Result parsing:
- Look for structured markers in agent output:
CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent
