Codex Implementation Loop

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:review
Delegate implementation work to Codex (via the codex-companion runtime), then review its diff, send it back to iterate, gate on the full test suite, and ship it as a PR. Use this whenever the user wants Codex to write code, mentions handing off / delegating implementation to Codex, asks to work through a plan or spec unit-by-unit with Codex doing the coding, or wants a review-and-merge loop wrapped around Codex output — and also when resuming such a loop ("keep going", "next unit", "继续下一个"). It encodes constraints that are expensive to rediscover: Codex runs in the real environment with effectively read-only git, must not be pointed at a full test suite by default, accepts only specific --effort values, and its self-report is a claim rather than evidence.

From the source SKILL.md

Codex writes the code; you own the judgment. Codex is fast at implementation but it self-reports success, cannot commit, and will hang a machine if pointed at a long test suite. You give it a precise spec, then be the thing that actually verifies and ships. This includes bug fixes: a bug found at review, at the gate, or later is a unit like any other — you diagnose and spec, Codex implements. Editing code directly "because it's faster" silently inverts the division of labor and costs review its independence.

What this skill does

Codex Implementation Loop is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/codex-implementation-loop/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
