SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill delegates complex reasoning, planning, and deep analysis tasks to OpenAI's GPT-5.2-Codex model, enabling Claude to leverage a high-end agent for challenging problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Complex multi-step planning and architecture decisions that benefit from extended reasoning.
  • In-depth debugging, root-cause analysis, and algorithm design.
  • Code review and refactoring guidance for subtle issues and security considerations.
  • Large-scale problem solving and investigative prompts requiring evaluation and synthesis.

Quick Start

Prepare a clear prompt and run it through the Codex Oracle script: ~/.claude/skills/codex-oracle/scripts/call-openai.sh "YOUR_PROMPT_HERE" [model] [reasoning_effort]

Frequently Asked Questions about codex-oracle

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate complex reasoning and architecture planning to an AI assistant?

To delegate complex reasoning and architecture planning, you structure a clear prompt and pass it to the Codex Oracle script, which forwards the request to the GPT-5.2-Codex model for extended analysis and deterministic outcomes.

Can I use GPT-5.2-Codex for deep debugging and root-cause analysis?

Yes, you can use GPT-5.2-Codex for deep debugging and root-cause analysis by invoking the script with your specific debugging prompt, leveraging the model's extended reasoning effort controls for thorough investigation.

What is the best way to run multi-step planning and large refactors through a script?

The best way to run multi-step planning and large refactors is executing the call-openai shell script with your prompt, specifying the desired model and reasoning effort parameters to guide the analysis depth.

Do I need specific prompt engineering to get deterministic outcomes from code reviews?

You need a structured prompt format specifying your code review requirements to get deterministic outcomes, passing the prompt to the script along with optional model and reasoning effort arguments for precise control.

Does this approach work without external dependencies for algorithm design?

This approach works without external dependencies for algorithm design, as the Skill only requires a shell script invocation to communicate with the model API, needing no additional libraries or modules.

When should I not use an extended reasoning model for prompt engineering tasks?

You should not use an extended reasoning model for simple prompt engineering tasks or straightforward code generation that does not require complex evaluation, synthesis, or multi-step investigative analysis to avoid unnecessary overhead.
