What it does

codex-collab connects Claude with Codex via the codex app-server JSON-RPC protocol, enabling the agent to run prompts, launch background runs, perform PR-style code reviews, and collaborate in parallel on development tasks. It provides CLI commands to start threads, resume work, check progress, and fetch outputs so agents can delegate lengthy or tool-enabled work to Codex.

When to use it

Use this skill when you want a non-Claude perspective or specialized Codex tooling for code reviews, automated edits, implementation tasks, or long-running research jobs. It is suitable for: PR reviews, bulk code changes, automated testing runs, and research where Codex's environment-based tooling helps.

What's included

Scripts: CLI orchestration documented in the SKILL.md (run, review, jobs, progress, output, approve).
References: Usage examples, progress output formats, and recommended flags for background execution.
Instructions: Guidance on when to run in background vs foreground, resume semantics, handling approvals, and error recovery.

Compatible agents

Likely compatible with agents that can spawn background tasks and run shell commands (Claude Code, Copilot/Codex-capable agents, CLI-capable assistants).

Audit Summary

codex-collab bridges Claude and Codex for collaborative coding tasks — run commands, code reviews, and background research. The SKILL.md is thorough with clear CLI reference, error recovery, and usage examples. No bundled scripts; the skill is purely instructional, delegating to an external codex-collab CLI. Main security concern: it instructs agents to use dangerouslyDisableSandbox=true for all Bash commands and defaults to auto-approving Codex actions (--approval never).

Watch Out

Requires dangerouslyDisableSandbox=true — disables sandbox protections
Requires bun and codex CLI on PATH
Default approval policy is 'never' — auto-approves all Codex actions

Notes

Well-documented skill with clear structure. The sandbox bypass instruction is inherent to how the tool works (writes to ~/.codex-collab/) but worth flagging. No executable scripts to audit — all functionality depends on the separately installed codex-collab CLI.
