$outline-expand

This engine is OMXR's map-reduce shape: one outline in, N first-draft sections out, one Codex subagent dispatch per section, batched when the active runtime supports parallel dispatch. It is the second-simplest engine after $iterate-revision — there is no loop and no reviewer; the verdict is "we wrote the files we said we would."

If you are reading this because Codex's skill auto-discovery surfaced it: invoke it via $outline-expand <outline-path>. Do not hand-edit the manuscript sections or .omx/state/omxr/paper.json while a run is in flight.

When this skill is invoked, immediately execute the workflow below. Do not only restate or summarize these instructions back to the user.

Signature

$outline-expand <outline-path> [--sections <list>] [--max-iter-per-section N]

Flag	Default	Purpose
`--sections`	all sections discovered in the outline whose `paper.json.sections[name].status` is not `approved`	Comma-separated subset to draft. Explicit names override the "already drafted" early-skip but never the `approved` guard (use `--sections` + manual status reset to redo an approved section).
`--max-iter-per-section`	`1` (unused currently)	Reserved for now `--auto-iterate`. This engine produces first drafts only.
