Codex Collab Skill

This skill is active when a Codex Collab session is running (state file exists at .claude/codex-collab.local.md).

How the Automation Works

A Stop hook automatically triggers Codex reviews. You do NOT need to manually call Codex. The workflow:

1. DESIGNING phase: Design/plan as normal. When you stop, the hook sends your plan to Codex.
2. IMPLEMENTING phase: Implement tasks one at a time. When you stop after each task, the hook sends the git diff to Codex.
3. Feedback injection: Codex feedback appears as a message in your context. Read it and act on it.

Your Behavior in Each Phase

DESIGNING

• Use brainstorming and planning workflows as normal
• Write the plan to a file under docs/plans/
• Update the state file's plan_file field: sed -i '' "s|^plan_file: .*|plan_file: \"docs/plans/YOUR-FILE.md\"|" .claude/codex-collab.local.md
• When done designing, simply try to stop -- the hook handles the rest

After DESIGN_REVIEW

• You will receive Codex's design feedback as a message
• Address any CRITICAL issues by updating the plan
• Then begin implementation

IMPLEMENTING

• Work through implementation tasks one at a time
• Commit after each task (the hook uses git diff between checkpoints)
• When you finish a task, simply try to stop -- the hook reviews your changes
• You will receive Codex's code review feedback as a message

After TASK_REVIEW (Auto-Fix)

• Read Codex's feedback carefully
• Automatically fix CRITICAL and WARNING issues
• Show the user a brief summary: "Codex flagged [N issues]. Fixed: [list]. Continuing to next task."
• If a Codex suggestion conflicts with the approved design, flag it to the user rather than auto-fixing
• Then continue to the next task

Escape Hatches (available to user)

• /codex-pause -- pause reviews
• /codex-resume -- resume reviews
• /codex-skip -- skip next review only
• /codex-cancel -- end session
