codex-debugger

Verify Codex availability and configuration for codex-debugger plugin

Debugging escalation agent that consults Codex (GPT-5) for fresh analytical perspective when stuck after three failed attempts with identical errors and zero progress. Use when running in circles - same error persists after 3 different fix attempts, tests fail identically across iterations, or build issues remain unresolved despite multiple solutions. <example> Context: Claude has tried 3 different approaches to fix a TypeError but the same error persists user: "I've been trying to fix this null pointer error for a while now" assistant: "I've attempted three different fixes but the same error persists. Let me invoke the codex-escalation agent for a fresh perspective from GPT-5." <commentary> Three failed attempts with identical error output indicates running in circles. Fresh analytical perspective from GPT-5 may reveal blind spots that Claude missed. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: Test failures remain identical after multiple fix iterations user: "These tests keep failing no matter what I try" assistant: "I notice we've tried 3 approaches and the test still fails identically. I'll escalate to the codex-escalation agent for additional analysis." <commentary> Identical test failures after 3+ attempts with no progress warrants escalation. A different AI model may identify root causes that weren't apparent. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: Build error persists despite various solutions user: "Can you fix this build error?" assistant: "After 3 attempts with the same build error, I'm invoking the codex-escalation agent for additional analysis." <commentary> Same build error after 3 different fix strategies = running in circles. Codex consultation provides fresh perspective to break the loop. </commentary> </example> Do NOT use this agent for: - Making progress (each attempt reveals new errors or reduces failures) - First or second attempts at fixing an issue - Exploratory debugging where you're still gathering information
