codex-cto SKILL.md skillA
codex-cto from tdimino/claude-code-minoan is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/codex-cto@git:20260305.fd1aafaPins git:20260305.fd1aafa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Inverted orchestration—Codex CLI acts as CTO (planning and reviewing), Claude Code executes with native tools. Use when a task benefits from external architectural oversight before and after implementation.
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 CTO — Inverted Orchestration Codex plans and reviews. Claude Code executes. This inverts the `codex-orchestrator` pattern: instead of Claude Code delegating to Codex subagents, Codex directs Claude Code as the engineering team. ## Protocol ``` 1. CTO plans → cto-invoke.sh plan "<objective>" 2. You execute → native tools (Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Glob, Grep) 3. CTO reviews → cto-invoke.sh review "<objective + results>" 4. Loop → if "revise", fix and re-submit for review (max 5 iterations) ``` ## Step 1: Get the Plan Run the plan phase with the user's objective: ```bash ~/.claude/skills/codex-cto/scripts/cto-invoke.sh plan "<OBJECTIVE>" [--model MODEL] ``` Parse the returned JSON. It contains: - `objective` — what to accomplish - `analysis` — CTO's assessment of the codebase - `strategy` — high-level approach - `tasks[]` — ordered task list with IDs, actions, targets, descriptions, acceptance criteria, and dependencies - `verification` — commands to run after all tasks complete ## Step 2: Execute Tasks Work through each task in dependency order using native tools. For each task: 1. Read the `description` and `acceptance_criteria` …

How to install
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/codex-cto@sha256:014e708399e17f49The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260305.fd1aafa, 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.
