Get a second opinion from OpenAI Codex CLI on difficult debugging, code analysis, or architecture problems, run a code/diff review (finder or adversarial-refuter passes over a diff or working tree), run a security review/audit or verification of security-sensitive code (auth, input validation, crypto, secrets), diagnose a bug, fan a repetitive bounded sweep (N-unit migrations, test conversions, mechanical refactors) across parallel codex lanes (individual bounded changes and large net-new code stay on Claude — opus, fable only when the surface is very sensitive or error-prone), generate images (logos, mascots, banners, illustrations) with Codex's $imagegen skill, or offload rote throwaway work (one-off scripts, data munging) where code quality doesn't matter and nothing can go wrong. Use when reviewing code or a diff for defects, when auditing or verifying security-sensitive code, when diagnosing a bug, when stuck after multiple attempts, for a sweep of fully specified edits, when asked to generate an image,
Bootstrap or retrofit a new repository with proven agent docs, README and brand assets, Claude Code settings, ccx, capt-hook guards, tests, linting, CI, and release conventions. Supports Python packages and CLIs using uv, Click, pytest, ruff, and ty; Go CLIs using cobra, slog, Task, and golangci-lint; Swift packages and CLIs using SPM, Swift Testing, SwiftFormat, and SwiftLint; and synced-project SwiftUI iOS apps. Optional publishing covers Great Docs on GitHub Pages, trusted PyPI releases, and Homebrew releases for Go and Swift CLIs. Use when creating a repository from scratch, scaffolding a Python, Go, or Swift package, CLI, or iOS app, or applying these conventions to a young repository.
Open a pull request that reads like the repo's own maintainers wrote it — orient with `ccx vcs lane` and `ccx vcs guidelines`, learn the house style from a bot-filtered sample of recent human-authored merged PRs via a cached per-repo style card, calibrate register against a local wlm voice profile, run a politeness and standards-conformance pass with issue-first handling on repos the user does not own, write the title, body, and commit messages to the repo's own conventions, ship through `ccx vcs ship`, and hand the CI and bot-comment watch to a background pr-watcher agent. Use when opening, submitting, or contributing a pull request, drafting a PR title or body, contributing a change to an open-source repo, or shipping a branch as a PR.
Attach to an already-open pull request and iterate it until CI is green and the bots are quiet — poll checks, review verdicts, and bot comments through a Monitor on the bundled poll script, apply the fixes the failure itself determines (formatter output, single-resolution compile and type errors, stale lockfiles and snapshots, review suggestion blocks, bot nits naming the exact replacement), ship each through ccx vcs ship, and bring every real decision back with 2–4 concrete options. Four mechanical safety gates precede every edit and a per-PR state file caps attempts per check across restarts. The human-driven counterpart to open-pr's background watcher. Use when the user says "watch this PR", "fix CI on PR 123", "get the PR green", "address the review comments", or "why is CI failing on my PR", when driving a PR someone else opened, or when resuming a PR whose background watcher already reported.
Research-backed, provider-agnostic guidance for writing LLM prompts and agent instructions — positive framing, XML structure, contrastive examples, outcome-first agentic contracts, and provider tuning knobs. Use when writing or revising a system prompt, agent or tool instructions, a tool description, or few-shot examples; or when the user asks to improve a prompt.
Check a file (or piece of text) for LLM-generated prose tells using the slop-cop CLI and report the violations. Use when the user asks to "check/lint/scan this file for slop", "find LLM tells in <file>", "run slop-cop on <path>", or wants a violations report for a doc, README, blog post, PR description, or commit message. Report-only by default; offers to apply fixes if asked.
Generate an animated SVG terminal demo of a CLI using evp — write a .tape, render it, inspect the keyframes, and refine in a loop until it looks good. Use when the user asks to "make/record a terminal demo of <cli>", wants an "animated SVG/GIF demo of a command", a "VHS-style terminal recording", or a demo GIF/SVG for a README. Renders natively on Linux x86_64 and via Docker (linux/amd64) on macOS/ARM.
Run an assumptions-first architecture design and ship it as an interactive design doc. Ground truths land in a register with stable IDs, every design fork goes through a question round with a recorded escape hatch, an adversarial review attacks the middle draft, and every estimate is gated on a named spike. The deliverable is a registers.json-driven single-file HTML doc plus a generated PDF, written as a humble proposal that explains and asks for feedback. Use when asked to "write a design doc", "architecture proposal", "help me design <system>", "redesign <system>", "assumptions-first design", or to turn a systems discussion into a reviewable design document.
