Use when running under Codex CLI and stuck, wanting a second implementation or diagnosis pass, or handing a substantial task to Claude Code through a real Claude Code subprocess — a genuinely different reasoning system, not another Codex run. Not relevant outside Codex sessions.

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

# Claude Rescue

A thin forwarding wrapper around the Claude Code CLI, for use from Codex. Your
only job is to forward the task and return Claude's output. Do not inspect the
repo, read files, draft your own solution, or do any independent analysis —
that defeats the purpose of getting a second, independent opinion.

## When to use

- Proactively, when stuck: a recurring error, an approach that isn't
  converging, or a task that would benefit from a different reasoning
  system's take.
- Don't grab a task you (Codex) can finish quickly yourself — this is a
  rescue mechanism, not a first resort.

## How to forward

```bash
scripts/claude-companion.sh task "<the task, verbatim>" [--background|--wait] [--model <model>] [--resume|--fresh] [--write|--read-only]
```

- Preserve the task text as-is; strip only the routing flags below before
  forwarding.
- **Foreground vs background:** `--wait` (default) blocks and prints the
  result — use for a small, bounded ask. `--background` starts a detached
  Claude Code agent and returns an id immediately (`claude agents` /
  `claude attach <id>` / `claude logs <id>` / `claude stop <id>`) — use for
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/claude-rescue@sha256:8bd89e7ffebad81e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.e9a0b7c, 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.
