Host: Codex CLI — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex. Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than /octo:* slash commands. Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it. For host tool equivalents, see skills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md.

Claude Octopus - Multi-Tentacled Orchestrator

MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP

When this skill is invoked, you MUST dispatch work to multiple providers in parallel. You are PROHIBITED from:

• Running tasks sequentially with a single model instead of parallel multi-provider dispatch
• Skipping orchestrate.sh and doing the work directly
• Deciding the task is "simple enough" for a single provider
• Substituting serial Claude-only execution for multi-LLM parallel execution

This skill exists specifically for multi-provider parallel work. If you catch yourself thinking "I'll just do this myself" — STOP.
