Codex GodMode ON — AI skill for Claude Code

Codex GodMode

GodMode is a lean, globally installable orchestration layer for Codex. It keeps authority, worktree safety, one-writer delivery, recoverable migration, and observable validation explicit without prescribing every reasoning step.

The current core release is **GodMode `3.0.0`**. It is a major rebuild for strong parent models such as GPT-5.6 Sol: less standing context, fewer generic roles, deliberate specialist selection, and more deterministic verification. Read the comprehensive [GodMode 3.0 release document](docs/releases/3.0.0.md) for the rationale, breaking changes, measured package reductions, migration contract, rollback, and release evidence.

What changed in GodMode 3

• 7 optional custom agents instead of 14
• 9 independently triggered core skills instead of companion chains
• zero subagents by default, at most two selected specialists, and a packaged base-config thread cap of two
• parent or one built-in worker as the only tracked-file writer
• separate static validator and executable tester responsibilities
• risk-based gates instead of mandatory double validation
• safe retirement of exact GodMode 2.0 assets with verified backups
• separate package checks, installer tests, capability diagnostics, and routing evals

The most important behavioral change is the default: the parent works alone. It delegates only a bounded, independent uncertainty that materially improves the result, and uses at most two specialists. A packaged specialist is selected with its registered `agent_type`; a matching task name alone does not activate the role.

Why the system became smaller

GodMode 2.x protected useful invariants, but repeated them through 14 custom agents, ten skills, a large workflow prompt, mandatory double validation, and a post-gate Scribe. With a stronger orchestrator, those layers could duplicate discovery, planning, implementation, and review while filling context and multiplying child turns.

GodMode 3 keeps the rules that a
