ask-codex skillA

ask-codex is agent-read markdown (skill) from yeaight7/agent-powerups: Use when a Claude Code agent needs to delegate a question, subtask, or review to a local Codex instance..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Ask Codex

## Purpose

Use the local Codex CLI as an external worker or advisor from inside a Claude Code session. Hand off a focused task, collect the output, and save a reviewable Markdown artifact before acting on the result.

## When to Use

- Need a Codex second opinion on a design decision or code change.
- Want to delegate a self-contained subtask to Codex and inspect the result.
- Exploring a problem from a different model's perspective.
- Do not use when `codex` CLI is missing or unauthenticated.
- Do not use for tasks that require interactive back-and-forth — Codex output is captured once.

## Requirements

- `codex` CLI available in PATH and authenticated.
- Verify with:

```bash
codex --version
```

If `codex` is missing, stop and ask the user to install it. Installation reference:

```bash
npm install -g @openai/codex
```

## Inputs

- A specific, scoped prompt or task description.
- Optional: file paths or code snippets to include inline in the prompt.
- Optional: artifact output directory (defaults to `.apx/artifacts/`).

## Workflow

### 1. Check the CLI is available

```bash
codex --version
```

If this fails, stop. Do not proceed without `codex` in PATH.

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
