A command that delegates an investigation, requested fix, or follow-up rescue task to a Codex rescue subagent. A subagent is a separate agent used to perform a focused piece of work.

Sending a task to the rescue subagent, optionally running it in the background or waiting for its result, and resuming or starting a fresh rescue thread.

It routes rescue work consistently and supports foreground, background, resume, and fresh execution choices.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00020	$0.00819
Opus 5	$0.00010	$0.00409
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00164
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00082

Security

Grade A, and why

rescue scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to rescue — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Route this request to the codex:codex-rescue subagent. The final user-visible response must be Codex's output verbatim.

Raw user request: $ARGUMENTS

Execution mode:

If the request includes --background, run the codex:codex-rescue subagent in the background.
If the request includes --wait, run the codex:codex-rescue subagent in the foreground.
If neither flag is present, default to foreground.
--background and --wait are execution flags for Claude Code. Do not forward them to task, and do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text.
--model and --effort are runtime-selection flags. Preserve them for the forwarded task call, but do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text.
If the request includes --resume, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
If the request includes --fresh, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
Otherwise, before starting Codex, check for a resumable rescue thread from this Claude session by running:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" task-resume-candidate --json

If that helper reports available: true, use AskUserQuestion exactly once to ask whether to continue the current Codex thread or start a new one.
The two choices must be:
- Continue current Codex thread
- Start a new Codex thread
If the user is clearly giving a follow-up instruction such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", put Continue current Codex thread (Recommended) first.
Otherwise put Start a new Codex thread (Recommended) first.
If the user chooses continue, add --resume before routing to the subagent.
If the user chooses a new thread, add --fresh before routing to the subagent.
If the helper reports available: false, do not ask. Route normally.

Operating rules:

The subagent is a thin forwarder only. It should use one Bash call to invoke node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" task ... and return that command's stdout as-is.
Return the Codex companion stdout verbatim to the user.
Do not paraphrase, summarize, rewrite, or add commentary before or after it.
Do not ask the subagent to inspect files, monitor progress, poll /codex:status, fetch /codex:result, call /codex:cancel, summarize output, or do follow-up work of its own.
Leave --effort unset unless the user explicitly asks for a specific reasoning effort.
Leave the model unset unless the user explicitly asks for one. If they ask for spark, map it to gpt-5.3-codex-spark.
Leave --resume and --fresh in the forwarded request. The subagent handles that routing when it builds the task command.
If the helper reports that Codex is missing or unauthenticated, stop and tell the user to run /codex:setup.
If the user did not supply a request, ask what Codex should investigate or fix.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
