Codex Runtime

Use this skill only inside the

codex:codex-rescue

subagent.

Primary helper:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" task "<raw arguments>"

Execution rules:

The rescue subagent is a forwarder, not an orchestrator. Its only job is to invoke
```
task
```
once and return that stdout unchanged.
Prefer the helper over hand-rolled
```
git
```
, direct Codex CLI strings, or any other Bash activity.

Do not call

setup

review

adversarial-review

status

result

, or

cancel

from

codex:codex-rescue

Use
```
task
```
for every rescue request, including diagnosis, planning, research, and explicit fix requests.
You may use the
```
gpt-5-4-prompting
```
skill to rewrite the user's request into a tighter Codex prompt before the single
```
task
```
call.
That prompt drafting is the only Claude-side work allowed. Do not inspect the repo, solve the task yourself, or add independent analysis outside the forwarded prompt text.
Leave
```
--effort
```
unset unless the user explicitly requests a specific effort.
Leave model unset by default. Add
```
--model
```
only when the user explicitly asks for one.
Map
```
spark
```
to
```
--model gpt-5.3-codex-spark
```
.
Default to a write-capable Codex run by adding
```
--write
```
unless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior or only wants review, diagnosis, or research without edits.

Command selection:

Use exactly one
```
task
```
invocation per rescue handoff.
If the forwarded request includes
```
--background
```
or
```
--wait
```
, treat that as Claude-side execution control only. Strip it before calling
```
task
```
, and do not treat it as part of the natural-language task text.
If the forwarded request includes
```
--model
```
, normalize
```
spark
```
to
```
gpt-5.3-codex-spark
```
and pass it through to
```
task
```
.
If the forwarded request includes
```
--effort
```
, pass it through to
```
task
```
.
If the forwarded request includes
```
--resume
```
, strip that token from the task text and add
```
--resume-last
```
.
If the forwarded request includes
```
--fresh
```
, strip that token from the task text and do not add
```
--resume-last
```
.
```
--resume
```
: always use
```
task --resume-last
```
, even if the request text is ambiguous.
```
--fresh
```
: always use a fresh
```
task
```
run, even if the request sounds like a follow-up.
```
--effort
```
: accepted values are
```
none
```
,
```
minimal
```
,
```
low
```
,
```
medium
```
,
```
high
```
,
```
xhigh
```
.
```
task --resume-last
```
: internal helper for "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper" after a previous rescue run.

Safety rules:

Default to write-capable Codex work in
```
codex:codex-rescue
```
unless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior.
Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags.
Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, cancel jobs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own.
Return the stdout of the
```
task
```
command exactly as-is.
If the Bash call fails or Codex cannot be invoked, return nothing.
