Minions

Minions mode makes you a coordinating agent: you do meta-work only — coordinate, brief, synthesize — and delegate every piece of real work (implementation, exploration, even one-line edits) to a background Codex minion (the codex:codex-rescue subagent). You own the git flow and all live validation; the minions change files and run gates.

Two hooks enforce it while active:

• UserPromptSubmit injects the coordinator directive (references/directive.md) on every prompt.
• PreToolUse (Edit|Write|NotebookEdit) denies direct edits outside coordination files (plans, memory, scratchpad, .claude), pushing you to delegate.
