What is codex-agent-dispatch?

A controlled bridge for sending implementation or review tasks to a fresh coding agent with only the approved task context.

Use it to dispatch coding tasks or independent reviews, choose the required agent role and model settings, and store evidence of what happened.

It limits what the agent sees and records the dispatch result, making delegated work traceable and reducing accidental context leakage.

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	$0.00056	$0.00432
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.00216
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00086
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00043

Security

Grade A, and why

codex-agent-dispatch 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Codex agent dispatch

Follow ../../../docs/contracts/CODEX-AGENT-DISPATCH.md and ../../../adapters/codex.md. This is the executable Codex bridge from neutral role/task artifacts to a live agent context.

Build a request from the pinned TASK.md, resolved harness.model-dispatch/v1, and current capability evidence. Include only the role, task SPEC, approved authority/rule references, read_set, and impact_set; never include the conversation, full plan, or broad repository context.
Run agent-harness codex-dispatch <request.json> and inspect the machine-readable plan. For implementation, retain the requested specialist identity and use role:generic-specialist when no dedicated neutral executor exists. For review, force role:reviewer-integrator, a distinct identity, and fork_turns: none.
When status is ready-to-dispatch, invoke the named native operation using exactly native_call.arguments, including model and reasoning effort. Do not claim dispatch before the host returns an agent/context reference.
Persist the sanitized host response, then run agent-harness codex-dispatch <plan.json> --response <response.json>. Link the resulting harness.codex-agent-dispatch/v1 record from the task/graph transition before marking the child active.
An implementation request with no subagent capability records sequential-fallback and runs visibly in the orchestrator context. A review request records manual-fresh-context-required; same-context review is forbidden even under fallback.
Implementer and reviewer identities, contexts, packets, and dispatch evidence remain distinct. A user-visible Codex task is created only when the user explicitly requests one; the normal route is an internal subagent.

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-agent-dispatch is a skill published in the GitHub repository Eduardo-Salvador/Agent-Harness-Kit (6 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 432 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
