codex-crew

Codex CLI as a first-class Claude Code subagent: delegate, review, consult. Respects your ~/.codex/config.toml, sessions resumable, stall watchdog.

Install

/plugin marketplace add smartass/codex-crew
/plugin install codex-crew@codex-crew

Requires codex CLI >=0.151 and jq.

How it works

Orchestrator → codex subagent (agents/codex.md) → scripts/codex-run.sh → codex exec --json (--skip-git-repo-check -o last.md). Non-empty prompt.md is fed via stdin - so flags and prompt combine. Stall watchdog (CODEX_STALL_TIMEOUT, default 600s of event silence → kill; resume via thread_id). cwd: in task is mandatory; codex options: forwarded verbatim. Review scope (--base/--commit/--uncommitted) is translated to prompt text when a custom prompt is present (CLI forbids scope + prompt together), otherwise native codex exec review <scope>.

Skills

Skill Trigger
codex-agent delegate to codex, have codex do — execution, bugfix, research
codex-review codex review — branch (--base), commit, uncommitted, or files
codex-consult second opinion, have codex review the spec/plan — iterate to consensus (max 5 rounds)

Details: skills/references/common.md.

Permissions & Sandbox

Default inherits ~/.codex/config.toml (no flags injected). Override per-task via codex options::

  • -s read-only | workspace-write | danger-full-access
  • --add-dir <dir> — extra writable directory
  • --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox — dangerous, only in an externally sandboxed environment

Example: codex options: -s workspace-write --add-dir /tmp

Flags are saved per-job and re-applied on resume.

Models & Reasoning

Default from ~/.codex/config.toml (model, model_reasoning_effort). Discovery:

./scripts/codex-models.sh
# or
codex debug models | jq '[.models[] | select(.visibility=="list") | {slug, levels: [.supported_reasoning_levels[].effort]}]'

Pass via codex options: -m <model-from-discovery> -c model_reasoning_effort="<effort-from-discovery>" (values from scripts/codex-models.sh output).

Updating

Bump version in .claude-plugin/plugin.json, commit, push, then:

/plugin marketplace update codex-crew
/plugin update codex-crew@codex-crew
/reload-plugins

No version bump → no update (Claude Code caches by version).
