codex-subagent

authentic

Launch OpenAI Codex CLI as a subagent (no API key). Use when delegating a self-contained coding task to Codex from another agent — parallel implementation work, a second opinion, or an independent verification pass.

When to use

• delegating self-contained coding tasks
• parallel implementation work
• second opinion on changes
• independent verification pass
• fixing bugs
• implementing features
• refactoring code
• code review

When not to use

• tasks requiring conversation context not fully written in prompt
• using API keys for authentication
• using Codex fast mode
• using --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox
