.claude/skills/codex-agent/# Codex Agent
Use this skill to run Codex tasks via the ai_cli runner. This is intended for Claude
to delegate work to Codex when appropriate, including long-running background tasks
that can be monitored while other work continues.
## Invocation
Call the runner script (installed path in projects is `.claude/scripts`):
```bash
python3 .claude/scripts/sc_codex_task.py --json '{...}'
```
Use `sc_codex_task.py` only (do not call other runner script names).
Do not invent flags like `--run_in_background`, `--description`, `--prompt`, or `--subagent_type`.
## Input
Provide Task Tool input JSON with:
- `description`
- `prompt`
- `subagent_type` (defaults to `sc-codex` if not provided by the caller)
## Notes
- Model flags (aliases and full names are accepted):
- `--model codex` (default: gpt-5.2-codex)
- `--model codex-max` or `--model max` (maps to gpt-5.1-codex-max)
- `--model codex-mini` or `--model mini` (maps to gpt-5.1-codex-mini)
- `--model gpt-5` (maps to gpt-5.2)
- Background mode:
- Default is background unless `--no-background` is provided.
- Add `--background` to force background explicitly.
- Add `--no-background` to force blocking mode.
- The JSON output includes `output_file` (JSONL transcript path) and `agentId`.
- Poll `output_file` via a short Python loop (avoid `tail -f` and avoid `timeout`, which may be missing on macOS).
- Blocking mode (default without `--background`) returns `{ "output", "agentId" }`.
- The runner enforces schema validation and logs to `.claude/state/logs/<package-name>/`.
