A Claude skill for delegating coding tasks to OpenAI's Codex CLI agent (GPT-5.4). Claude plans and reviews; Codex executes.
In real coding workflows, some tasks are better handled outside the main Claude Code session, especially when they are:
- implementation-heavy
- repetitive
- large in scope
- better isolated in a separate execution flow
codex-delegate was built to make that handoff easier.
Code Generation — Bulk Python/backend code via codex exec --full-auto with workspace-write sandbox
Code Review — Automated review via codex exec review
Test Generation — Unit tests, integration tests, fixtures
Multi-File Refactors — Batch edits, constant extraction, renaming
Cross-Platform — Windows cmd shell workarounds included (write persistence fix)
- delegate large refactors to Codex CLI
- offload repetitive file edits
- use Claude Code for planning and Codex for execution
- reduce token consumption in long coding sessions
- build multi-model development workflows
Codex CLI must be installed globally:
npm install -g @openai/codexVerify: codex --version (tested with v0.104.0)
