codex-worker

A workflow for delegating implementation tasks from Claude Code to Codex, an AI coding agent. Claude Code handles planning and review while Codex works on implementation details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign implementation work to Codex, generate its instructions, run parallel tasks, review the results, and integrate the changes.
Why use it?
It helps split large coding tasks between agents and organize ownership, parallel work, quality checks, and integration.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

codex-worker 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 2d 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.

Codex Worker Skill

Claude Code を PM/Orchestrator として、Codex を Worker として実装を委譲するスキル。

Philosophy

「Claude Code = 設計・レビュー、Codex = 実装」

高レベルな判断は Claude Code、実装の細部は Codex に任せる分業体制。

Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

codex-worker is a skill published in the GitHub repository Chachamaru127/codex-harness (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 2,681 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
