handoff-codex from claude-world/director-mode-lite is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add claude-world/director-mode-lite/handoff-codex@git:20260726.8d0c65f

Pins git:20260726.8d0c65f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Continue a task in OpenAI Codex CLI through a portable Director handoff packet. Use when the user asks Codex to take over, wants an independent Codex implementation or review, or needs to preserve decisions and verification while changing CLIs.

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

# Handoff to Codex CLI

Use the shared `session-relay` workflow. Codex starts its own native session and
reads a packet containing the goal, current state, decisions, Git evidence,
verification, and next steps.

```bash
ROOT="${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-${GROK_WORKSPACE_ROOT:-}}"
[[ -n "$ROOT" ]] || ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)"
RELAY="$ROOT/.director-mode/bin/director-relay"
[[ -x "$RELAY" ]] || RELAY="$HOME/.claude/bin/director-relay"

"$RELAY" create \
  --from <claude|grok> --to codex \
  --goal "..." --summary "..." --next "..."

"$RELAY" continue --to codex
```

The second command prints the interactive `codex` invocation. Add `--run` only
when the user wants it launched now. Use `--headless` when a one-shot `codex
exec` continuation is appropriate.

Codex reads the repository's `AGENTS.md`, reusable skills from
`.agents/skills/`, and generated agents from `.codex/agents/`. Confirm those
surfaces with the installed CLI when debugging discovery.

Do not add bypass, approval, sandbox, or network flags as part of the handoff.
Those controls belong to the Codex session and remain at their current native
settings.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add claude-world/director-mode-lite/handoff-codex@sha256:a3365d2d6ceb702a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260726.8d0c65f, 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.
