Overview

About This Skill

Codex Delegator extends Claude Code with the ability to automatically delegate complex, logic-intensive programming tasks to OpenAI's Codex CLI. When Claude encounters persistent bugs, race conditions, algorithm optimization challenges, or problems requiring a fresh perspective, it invokes Codex to analyze and generate alternative solutions. The skill uses intelligent decision-making to determine when delegation is beneficial—activating after multiple unsuccessful attempts, for high-complexity logic, backend-heavy tasks, and problems needing different problem-solving approaches. This enables developers to leverage combined strengths of both AI systems within their existing Claude Code workflows, accelerating resolution of difficult technical problems.

How to Use

Install Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLI (npm i -g @openai/codex), then authenticate with codex auth. Extract the skill to ~/.claude/skills/codex-delegator and restart Claude Code. The skill automatically detects when problems warrant delegation and invokes Codex without manual intervention.

Use Cases

Debugging persistent race conditions and concurrency issues in payment systems

Optimizing slow algorithms to handle larger data sets efficiently

Resolving bugs that resist multiple fix attempts with fresh AI analysis

Implementing complex backend logic and intricate algorithm optimizations

Usage Examples

Prompt Template

I need to solve this complex coding problem: [PROBLEM]. Please use Codex Delegator to delegate this task to OpenAI Codex CLI and provide me with the solution. I'm working on [PROJECT] in [PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE].

Example Output

# Solution for [PROJECT] in [PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE]

## Problem Statement
[PROBLEM]

## Solution
```python
# The following code solves the problem by implementing a [SOLUTION_APPROACH]
# This solution was generated by OpenAI Codex CLI and refined by Claude

[CODE_SNIPPET]
```

## Explanation
- The solution uses [TECHNIQUE] to achieve [GOAL]
- It handles edge cases such as [EDGE_CASE_1] and [EDGE_CASE_2]
- The time complexity is [TIME_COMPLEXITY] and space complexity is [SPACE_COMPLEXITY]

## Next Steps
1. Integrate this solution into your [PROJECT] codebase
2. Test the solution with the following test cases:
   - [TEST_CASE_1]
   - [TEST_CASE_2]
3. Monitor the performance and make adjustments as needed
