Delegate a coding task to the OpenAI Codex CLI as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Codex — phrasings like "have Codex do X", "delegate this to Codex", "run it through Codex", or "use Codex to implement/fix/refactor" — or to run a queue of coding tasks through Codex while staying the reviewer. Prefer it over a one-shot Codex forwarder (such as the codex-rescue agent) when the user will review the…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.)

## When NOT to use this

- The task is small enough to just do inline — delegation overhead is not worth it.
- The `codex` CLI is not installed or not authenticated (run `codex login`).
- You want to write the code yourself, or you only need a review (use Codex's own `review` command).

## Prerequisites (check once)

1. `codex --version` succeeds. If not, install (`npm i -g @openai/codex`) and `codex login`.
2. **Confirm which `codex` is on PATH.** Multiple installs are common (e.g. a current npm/nvm copy and

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amelnagdy/delegate-skills/codex-delegate@sha256:25477cc004c99fd6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
