Details

From the project README

codex-cli

Purpose

Detect, install, configure, and run the OpenAI Codex CLI (codex) as an autonomous background agent for code editing, PR review, issue fixing, and one-shot automation tasks.

Routing

  • Use when: User wants to run Codex CLI, asks for "codex agent", "spin up codex", "codex review", "codex fix", or wants to execute a coding task using the OpenAI Codex CLI specifically.
  • Do not use when: The request is for planning, discussion, or non-executable output.
  • Outputs: Task result from Codex CLI agent, or setup instructions if CLI is not installed/configured.
  • Success criteria: Codex CLI executes the requested task and returns output, or user is guided to install/configure it.

Trigger Examples

Positive
  • "Spin up a Codex agent to review PR #55"
  • "Use Codex CLI to fix this bug"
  • "Run codex on this issue"
  • "Launch a codex agent"
  • "codex exec: add error handling to the API"
Negative
  • "Review this code" (generic — doesn't specify Codex CLI)
  • "Explain how Codex works" (no execution needed)
  • "Write a plan for this feature" (planning only)

Runtime Prompt

  • Runtime prompt is defined directly in ../codex-cli.json.
