Takomi Codex

Takomi Codex is the Codex-native adapter for the Takomi protocol. Use it when the user asks for Takomi, orchestration, roadbooks, Genesis/Design/Build lifecycle work, policy-aware execution, Pi/Takomi runtime inspection, or delegated task coordination.

Operating Principle

Choose the smallest execution mode that can do the work well, then delegate by default once Takomi decomposes the work:

1. Direct Codex work for small, local, one-shot tasks.
2. Planning mode for unclear or design-heavy work.
3. Markdown roadbook orchestration for broad multi-step work.
4. Delegation-first orchestration when Takomi creates subtasks, roadbook tasks, or an orchestration session.

Do not create a board, launch a harness, or spawn threads for trivial edits.

The main Codex agent remains the orchestrator for decomposed work. It owns context intake, task packets, board updates, synthesis, verification, and final user handoff. It should not act as the primary implementer by default after decomposition begins.

User override is explicit: if the user says "do it yourself", "no subagents", "no new threads", or equivalent, the main agent may execute directly while still keeping any existing roadbook current.
