What problem does it solve?
Claude Code often needs to orchestrate software tasks without making direct edits to code. This Skill ensures that high-level planning, reviews, and coordination happen in Claude, while Codex CLI performs all implementation work, resulting in safer, faster, and more scalable software delivery.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Architect/Plan: Claude reads code, designs changes, and validates approach before any implementation.
- Delegated Implementation: Codex CLI executes all edits, builds, and tests according to Claude's plan.
- Quality Assurance Gate: Claude reviews diffs, tests results, and verifications before declaring completion.
Quick Start
To begin, tell Claude: "manage codex" or "drive codex" and provide the high-level objective. Claude will outline tasks and invoke Codex CLI steps to implement, verify, and finalize. Monitor Codex CLI logs for progress, as its actions will generate diffs and test outputs. No direct code edits by Claude.
