SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the delegation of backend development tasks to the OpenAI Codex CLI for execution, reducing manual handoffs and accelerating delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Delegates backend tasks to Codex CLI to generate or modify code, run tests, and report results.
  • Supports creating new backend features (services, API routes, Prisma schemas), updating existing code, and running test suites.
  • Applicable when users want to outsourcing backend work by saying phrases like "let Codex do it" or "delegate to Codex" and receiving concrete code changes and test results.

Quick Start

Provide a task description to the Codex delegator and run in non-interactive, full-auto mode to have Codex execute the task. Example: codex exec --full-auto "Implement createNotification service in server/services/ with methods createNotification, getUnreadNotifications, markAsRead".

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate backend code generation and test execution using Codex CLI?

Automate backend code generation by delegating development tasks to Codex CLI in non-interactive, full-auto mode. You provide a task description and Codex executes it to generate or modify code, run tests, and report concrete results.

Can I resume a previous Codex CLI session when delegating backend tasks?

Yes, you can resume a previous Codex CLI session. The delegator supports session resumption, allowing you to continue backend development tasks from where you left off without losing prior context or generated code.

What backend development tasks can I delegate to Codex CLI?

You can delegate creating new backend features like services, API routes, and Prisma schemas. It also handles modifying existing code and running test suites to validate changes and obtain results.

Do I need the Codex CLI installed to run backend delegation tasks?

Yes, the Codex CLI is required. It acts as the execution engine that receives your delegated task descriptions and performs the actual backend development, code modifications, and testing in full-auto mode.

How do I trigger Codex to execute a backend task in full-auto mode?

Trigger full-auto execution by providing a task description to the delegator. Use a command like `codex exec --full-auto` followed by your task string to have Codex autonomously implement the backend code changes.

What's the best way to outsource backend work to an automated coding agent?

Delegating to Codex CLI reduces manual handoffs by automating backend development. You phrase instructions like "delegate to Codex" to receive concrete code changes and test results without manual coding.
