Invoking this\nskill IS the explicit ask that authorizes <code>codex exec</code> delegation under the\n<a href=\"../codex/SKILL.md\">codex</a> skill.</p>\n<h2>Role split</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Codex implements — whenever possible.</strong> Default every implementation pass\nto a <code>codex exec</code>, sliced sharp and prompted per the codex skill (prompt\nblocks, sandbox choice, exec liveness). Run independent slices as concurrent\nexecs in separate worktrees, exactly where implement-spec would fan out\nsubagents.</li>\n<li><strong>You orchestrate and review.</strong> The spec loop stays yours: pick the next\nslice, reconcile plan with code, author each prompt end-to-end, integrate\ndiffs, run the gates, review the merged tree, commit,\nupdate the handoff, run maintenance checkpoints. None of that delegates.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Keep a pass yourself only when slicing it sharply would cost more than doing\nit — tiny fixups, plan reconciliation, integration conflicts.</p>\n<h2>Rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You own every result: read the full diff and run the verification yourself.\n\"Codex says it's done\" is never done.</li>\n<li>Visual results carry implement-spec's two extra proofs (production-route\npixel diff + unprimed critique) with double force here: a sandboxed Codex\nnever saw its change render, so a pass that misses the production render\npath entirely arrives looking fully \"verified\".</li>\n<li>A sandboxed Codex ships code it never saw run — browser-verify every visual\nslice yourself and budget fix rounds. Send a red gate back as a resumed\nfollow-up with the failing evidence; fix it yourself only when that's\nsmaller than re-prompting.</li>\n<li>Commit hygiene stays yours: review the change list of the merged tree\nbefore every commit, exactly as implement-spec demands of the integrating\nreviewer.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":2181,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
