Codex CLI (Non-Interactive)

Codex is OpenAI's coding agent. Use codex exec to run it non-interactively from any cli agent.

When to Use Codex

Use Codex when:

• Parallel work: Delegate a task while continuing other work
• Second opinion: Get an independent implementation or review
• Long-running tasks: Offload tasks that may take many iterations
• Code review: Use codex exec review for PR/diff reviews

Do NOT use Codex for:

• Simple file reads/edits you can do directly
• Tasks requiring back-and-forth conversation
• Tasks needing your current context
