Codex Task
Forward a coding task to Codex CLI in one shot. Codex writes the code; Claude verifies after.
Why not just use codex:rescue? rescue routes through a 1000-line Node companion (background mode, session persistence, status/result polling). For straightforward tasks, calling codex exec directly skips ~10s of wrapper overhead and avoids any chance of session-state confusion.
Prerequisites
codexCLI on PATH (npm install -g @openai/codex)- OpenAI credentials configured
Verify: codex --version. If missing, tell the user npm install -g @openai/codex and stop.
Working Directory
Codex runs in Claude's current cwd by default. Before invoking, sanity-check that cwd is the right repo for the task. If the user's task implies a different directory (e.g., "fix the bug in agentic_umm"), pass -C /absolute/path to codex or cd first. Don't assume.
