What Codex Delegate does

Codex Delegate hands a bounded coding task to the OpenAI Codex CLI to implement in the background, then lets you review the diff and commit it yourself. Use it when the user wants to delegate implementation work to Codex or run a queue of coding tasks while staying the reviewer.

Codex Delegate is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Codex Delegate comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-coding-agent, antigravity, claude-code and claude-code-skills.

README

Excerpt

Codex Delegate

You are the orchestrator. This skill lets you hand a bounded coding task to a separate implementer — the OpenAI Codex CLI — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Codex does the typing in its own sandbox; you verify and commit.

Nothing here is specific to one orchestrating agent. The loop needs only the ability to run a shell command and read a file, so it works the same whether you are Claude Code, OpenCode with a selected model, or any comparable agent. (It is designed for and run on Claude Code; treat other orchestrators as designed-for, not yet proven.)
