Codex Coding Agent

Use Codex CLI only after the user or active workflow explicitly selects it as the external executor.

Minimal Workflow

1. Set <launcher> to the requested Codex binary, absolute path, alias, or wrapper. Preserve a provided wrapper; it may inject model, authentication, or permission settings, including bypass permissions.
2. Run <launcher> --help and <launcher> exec --help before composing version-sensitive flags. Use other subcommand help only when needed.
3. Choose the model and thinking effort deliberately, following the guidance below and the choices currently exposed by the launcher.
4. Use monitor mode by default for any task that may take time. Use final mode only when the task is clearly trivial and short.
5. Run from the intended repository or workspace, pass a bounded task contract, and wait for the external process to finish.
6. Inspect the resulting diff, tests, and final answer before claiming success.
