What is This?

**Codex Delegator** is a **Claude Code Agent Skill** - a specialized module that extends Claude Code with the ability to automatically delegate complex, logic-intensive programming tasks to OpenAI's Codex CLI.

Think of it as giving Claude Code a specialized co-worker (Codex) for handling particularly challenging problems.

What It Does

When you're working with Claude Code and encounter:

• 🔧 Complex backend logic implementations
• 🧮 Intricate algorithm optimizations
• 🐛 Persistent bugs that resist multiple fix attempts
• 🔄 Race conditions and concurrency issues
• 💡 Problems needing a fresh perspective

Claude Code can automatically invoke Codex to provide alternative solutions, leveraging the strengths of both AI systems.

How It Works

You: "This payment processing bug keeps happening under high load,
     I've tried 3 different fixes"

  ↓

Claude Code: [Analyzes problem, recognizes delegation criteria]
"I'm going to use Codex to help debug this race condition..."

  ↓

Codex: [Analyzes with fresh perspective, generates solution]

  ↓

Claude Code: [Validates solution, runs tests, integrates]
"Here's the fix. The issue was a race condition in Redis cache updates..."
