+ # Review and land
2
+
3
+ Codex did the typing; you own the judgment. This is where delegation earns its keep or quietly ships a
4
+ mistake. The discipline is simple to state and easy to skip under time pressure: **verify against
5
+ reality, never against the self-report — and read the diff as generated code, which fails in ways a
6
+ green gate can't see.**
7
+
8
+ ## Check the tests before trusting the gates
9
+
10
+ If the diff touches existing tests, review those edits *first* — before the gate re-run means anything.
11
+ A weakened assertion, an added skip, or a deleted test makes the gate measure less than it did before
12
+ the run; green is only meaningful if the yardstick wasn't shortened.
13
+
14
+ - **Unbriefed edits to existing tests are a contract change, not part of the fix.** The brief asked for
15
+ an implementation; nothing in it authorized moving the goalposts. Flag them, don't absorb them.
16
+ - **Skipped, disabled, or commented-out tests added in this diff:** treat the underlying test as failing
17
+ until proven otherwise, whatever the annotation's comment claims.
18
+ - **Loosened assertions** (exact match relaxed to contains/truthy, error-type checks broadened, tolerance
19
+ widened): same treatment.
20
+
21
+ ## Re-run the gates yourself
22
+
23
+ `result.json` carries Codex's own claim that the gates passed. Treat that as a claim, not evidence —
24
+ re-run the project's actual test/lint/build commands in the working tree and read the output. And keep
25
+ the result in proportion: **passing is necessary, not sufficient.** An implementer can *game* a gate,
26
+ not just misreport it — that is what the test check above and the sweep below exist to catch.
27
+
28
+ For changes with their own verification shape, go further:
29
+
30
+ - **Migrations / schema:** round-trip them (apply, reverse, re-apply on a scratch target) and check for
31
+ drift, rather than trusting that "the migration is reversible."
32
+ - **Removals / renames:** grep the codebase for dangling references to whatever was removed.
33
+ - **Anything stateful:** exercise the actual behavior, don't just confirm it compiles.
34
+
35
+ ## Read the diff against the brief
36
+
37
+ Open the diff (`touchedFiles` in the result is your starting list) and hold it against what you asked
38
+ for:
39
+
40
+ - **Scope creep** — did Codex change things the brief said to leave untouched? Unasked refactors,
41
+ renames, "while I was here" edits. These are the most common quality problem in delegated work.
42
+ - **Scope shortfall** — did it do the whole task, including the edge cases and cleanup, or stop at the
43
+ first plausible version?
44
+ - **Quiet judgment calls** — sometimes Codex makes a defensible decision the brief didn't anticipate.
45
+ Don't just accept it because it looks reasonable; understand it and decide.
46
+
47
+ ## The implementer sweep
48
+
49
+ Generated code fails in systematic ways that gates are structurally blind to — each of these can sit in
50
+ a diff whose tests are all green. Walk them against every diff before you commit:
51
+
52
+ - **Hardcoded success or fixture data** on a path the brief says does real work — a canned
53
+ `{status: "ok"}` or default return passes tests *by design*. If Codex couldn't implement something,
54
+ the diff should fail loudly, not pretend.
55
+ - **Catch-all error handling that returns a default** instead of propagating — the suppressed failure is
56
+ exactly what the gate would have caught. A broad catch is only acceptable with a recovery path the
57
+ contract documents.
58
+ - **Unverified imports and API calls** — confirm every new dependency, method, and signature exists in
59
+ the *installed* version (read the lockfile or the package, don't trust plausibility).
60
+ - **Dead weight** — unused imports, helpers nothing calls, unreachable branches, "Step 1/Step 2"
61
+ comment scaffolding, comments that restate the line below them.
62
+ - **A second way to do what the file already does** — a new HTTP client, error idiom, or logging style
63
+ introduced beside the existing one instead of reusing it.
64
+ - **New tests that assert internals** — asserting that an internal helper was called, or mocking the
65
+ project's own functions to isolate a "unit." Green, brittle, and worthless as regression cover.
66
+ - **Near-duplicate test bodies** differing by one value — fold into one data-driven test or drop the
67
+ copies; bloat reads as coverage but isn't.
68
+ - **Speculative surface** — optional parameters, config flags, or abstractions with no caller in this
69
+ diff or the repo. Delegated work gets the concrete behavior the brief asked for, nothing extra.
70
+ - **Guards for impossible cases** — null/type checks for values the code's own contract already
71
+ excludes. Noise that buries the validation that matters at real trust boundaries.
72
+
73
+ Anything the sweep catches goes back to Codex as a delta brief (below) or gets fixed in the tree before
74
+ commit — and either way is reported to the user (see "Surface, don't absorb").
75
+
76
+ If the `guard-skills` package is installed, run the relevant guard on the diff for the full treatment —
77
+ `clean-code-guard` on production code, `test-guard` on tests, `docs-guard` on documentation. The sweep
78
+ above is the built-in floor; the guards go deeper.
79
+
80
+ ## The commit boundary
81
+
82
+ When the gates pass and the diff holds, **you commit** — the orchestrator, never Codex. This isn't a
83
+ workaround for a missing feature; it's the deliberate boundary. Codex's sandbox can't reliably write
84
+ `.git`, and more importantly, committing should be the act of the party that verified the work. Write
85
+ a clear message describing what landed. If your project attributes co-authorship, that's the place
86
+ for it.
87
+
88
+ From dispatch until that commit, the uncommitted working tree is the authoritative copy of the
89
+ implementer's work — the only one you can commit from, and often the only copy at all. Never run `git checkout`, `reset`, `clean`, or a branch switch in the
90
+ workspace between those two points — however messy an interrupted run looks, inspect it first:
91
+ `git status`, `git diff`, `git diff --cached` for anything the implementer staged (plain
92
+ `git diff` is blind to the index), and open any untracked files (`??` in `git status`) directly —
93
+ they are the implementer's new files, and no diff shows their contents. The tree is evidence,
94
+ not clutter. After that inspection the
95
+ verdict can legitimately be to discard — work built on a premise you have since corrected, for
96
+ example — and then `git checkout`/`clean` is the right tool. The ban is on reflexive cleanup
97
+ before anyone has looked.
98
+
99
+ ## Reworking: send the delta, not the whole task
100
+
101
+ If the review turns up problems, don't restate the entire brief. Continue the same Codex session with
102
+ just the correction:
103
+
104
+ ```bash
105
+ echo "The fix is right, but the test mocks the DB session - use the real migrated fixture instead, and
106
+ drop the now-unused import." | node "<skill-dir>/scripts/relay.mjs" --resume-last --cd /path/to/repo
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ (`<skill-dir>` is this skill's install directory — see [dispatch-and-poll.md](dispatch-and-poll.md).)
110
+
111
+ `--session <threadId>` (or `--resume-last`) keeps Codex's context from the first run, so a short delta is enough. Then review
112
+ again — rework gets the same gate-rerun, test check, diff-read, and sweep as the original, no
113
+ shortcuts. Repeat until it's right, then commit.
114
+
115
+ ## Surface, don't absorb
116
+
117
+ The human opted into delegation, so committing verified, gate-passing work is the agreed contract.
118
+ But keep them in the loop on anything that changes the shape of the work:
119
+
120
+ - **Report design decisions** Codex made, and any defensible-but-unrequested turns it took.
121
+ - **Note non-blocking nitpicks** you chose not to block on, so the human can overrule you.
122
+ - **Stop and ask** if correct completion requires going beyond the brief — don't expand the mandate on
123
+ your own. A scope change is the human's call, not yours or Codex's.
124
+
125
+ For a multi-task run, capture these in the progress file rather than letting them scroll past — see
126
+ [multi-task-queues.md](multi-task-queues.md).

+ # Writing the brief
2
+
3
+ A brief is the entire task as Codex will see it. Codex runs in a fresh process with **no memory of
4
+ your conversation, no access to your prior notes, and no shared context** — only the text you send and
5
+ whatever it can read from the working tree (including the repo's own `AGENTS.md`, which it picks up
6
+ automatically).
7
+ If a constraint isn't in the brief or discoverable in the repo, it doesn't exist for Codex. The single
8
+ most common failure is a brief that assumes context Codex doesn't have.
9
+
10
+ ## The shape that works
11
+
12
+ Codex responds best to compact, block-structured prompts with XML tags rather
13
+ than long prose. State the task, what "done" looks like, how to behave by default, and the few
14
+ constraints that actually matter. Add a block only when the task needs it — don't ship empty ceremony.
15
+
16
+ ```xml
17
+ <task>
18
+ One or two sentences: the concrete job and where it lives. Then the specifics — current state, what to
19
+ change, and explicitly what to leave untouched. The "leave untouched" list is what keeps Codex from
20
+ wandering into unrelated refactors.
21
+ </task>
22
+
23
+ <verification_loop>
24
+ Run these before finishing and fix anything they surface, don't just report it:
25
+ <the project's real test command>
26
+ <the project's real lint/format command>
27
+ <the project's real build/typecheck command>
28
+ Confirm the working tree shows only the intended changes afterward.
29
+ </verification_loop>
30
+
31
+ <action_safety>
32
+ Keep changes scoped to the task. No unrelated refactors, renames, or cleanup unless required for
33
+ correctness. Do NOT run git add or git commit — you cannot reliably write .git, and the orchestrator
34
+ commits after reviewing. Leave the work uncommitted in the working tree.
35
+ </action_safety>
36
+
37
+ <structured_output_contract>
38
+ End with a report in this exact shape:
39
+ 1. What changed and why
40
+ 2. Files touched
41
+ 3. Gate outcomes (paste the test/lint counts)
42
+ 4. Anything you deviated on, left open, or want a decision on
43
+ </structured_output_contract>
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ That four-block skeleton covers most implementation tasks. Reach for the extra blocks when the task
47
+ profile calls for them:
48
+
49
+ - **Debugging / open-ended fixes** — add `<completeness_contract>` (resolve fully, don't stop at the
50
+ first plausible fix) and `<missing_context_gating>` (don't guess missing repo facts; find them or
51
+ state what's unknown).
52
+ - **Review / diagnosis (read-only)** — add `<grounding_rules>` (ground every claim in evidence; label
53
+ inferences) and run with `--read-only` so Codex can't edit.
54
+ - **Research / recommendations** — add `<research_mode>` (separate observed facts, inferences, open
55
+ questions).
56
+
57
+ ## Discover the real gates — don't hardcode
58
+
59
+ `<verification_loop>` is only useful if it names the project's *actual* commands. Read the repo's
60
+ `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` / `Makefile` / `package.json` first and copy the real ones in (`make test`,
61
+ `npm run lint`, `cargo test`, `pytest -q`, whatever it is). A brief that says "run the tests" without
62
+ naming them gets you a Codex that guesses — or skips.
63
+
64
+ ## Honor the repo's conventions
65
+
66
+ Codex reads the repo's `AGENTS.md` automatically, so house rules there (style, forbidden patterns,
67
+ commit conventions) already apply. If the project forbids certain things in code — say, spec/ticket IDs
68
+ in comments, process language like "MVP"/"for now"/"phase N", or specific test conventions, whatever
69
+ the repo's own conventions ban — restate the load-bearing ones in the brief too, because Codex's
70
+ compliance is only as reliable as what's in front of it.
71
+
72
+ ## One task per brief
73
+
74
+ Keep each brief to a single, bounded job. "Review this, fix what you find, update the docs, and
75
+ suggest a roadmap" produces a muddled run; split it into separate dispatches. One brief → one Codex
76
+ run → one commit keeps review and rollback clean, and lets a later task assume the earlier one landed.
77
+
78
+ ## Premises freeze at dispatch
79
+
80
+ The implementer starts from the brief's facts and there is no steering channel mid-run. Audit the
81
+ fact block before sending — ownership, target branch, constraints, anything a judgment call rests
82
+ on. If a premise turns out wrong while the run is live, stop the run and re-dispatch a corrected
83
+ brief rather than discounting the output afterward; for a write-capable run, inspect the working
84
+ tree and reconcile any partial or premise-contaminated edits — keep or revert them — before the
85
+ re-dispatch.
86
+
87
+ ## Expect environment preamble in the reply
88
+
89
+ Codex's final message may carry environment noise on top of your requested report — a banner injected
90
+ by the repo's `AGENTS.md`, extra text from an MCP tool or extension you've configured, and similar
91

95
+ ## A worked example
96
+
97
+ ```xml
98
+ <task>
99
+ In the payments service at services/billing/, the refund path double-charges when a refund is retried
100
+ after a network timeout (the idempotency key isn't checked before re-submitting). Make the refund
101
+ submission idempotent: check for an existing refund by idempotency key before creating a new one.
102
+ Touch only services/billing/refund.py and its tests. Leave the charge path, the API routes, and the
103
+ data models untouched.
104
+ </task>
105
+
106
+ <verification_loop>
107
+ Run and make green before finishing:
108
+ pytest tests/billing/ -q
109
+ ruff check services/billing/
110
+ Confirm git status shows only refund.py and its test file changed.
111
+ </verification_loop>
112
+
113
+ <action_safety>
114
+ Scope strictly to the refund idempotency fix. No unrelated refactors. Do NOT git add or commit; leave
115
+ changes in the working tree for review.
116
+ </action_safety>
117
+
118
+ <structured_output_contract>
119
+ Report: (1) the root cause and your fix, (2) files touched, (3) pytest + ruff outcomes with counts,
120
+ (4) anything you left open or want decided.
121
+ </structured_output_contract>
122
+ ```
123
+
124
+ Send this with `relay.mjs` (see [dispatch-and-poll.md](dispatch-and-poll.md)); review the result and
125
+ commit it yourself (see [review-and-land.md](review-and-land.md)).

19
+ # Command Code Delegate
20
+
21
+ ## When to Use
22
+
23
+ - You want to delegate a bounded coding task to a separate `commandcode` implementer (`Command Code`) and then review its diff yourself.
24
+ - The user explicitly asked for delegation to this implementer.
25
+
26
+ You are the **orchestrator**. This skill lets you hand a bounded coding task to a separate
27
+ **implementer** — the Command Code CLI (`cmd`) — then review what it produced and land it yourself.
28
+ You write the brief and own the judgment; Command Code does the typing in your working tree; you
29
+ verify and commit.
30
+
31
+ Nothing here is specific to one orchestrating agent. The loop needs only the ability to run a shell
32
+ command and read a file, so it works the same whether you are Claude Code, OpenCode with a selected
33
+ model, or any comparable agent. (It is designed for and run on Claude Code; treat other orchestrators
34
+ as designed-for, not yet proven.)
35
+
36
+ ## When NOT to use this
37
+
38
+ - The task is small enough to just do inline — delegation overhead is not worth it.
39
+ - The `cmd` CLI is not installed or not authenticated (run `cmd login`).
40
+ - You want to write the code yourself, or you only need a review (Command Code has its own `/review`).
41
+ - You are on native Windows and `cmdc --version` does not work. Upstream recommends WSL for stable Windows use.
42
+
43
+ ## Read this before the first dispatch: the autonomy model
44
+
45
+ Command Code's headless mode has **exactly two states, with nothing in between**:
46
+
47
+ - **Default (`-p` with no `--yolo`):** read, grep, and glob work. Every write, edit, and shell call is
48
+ refused by the CLI's permission layer, and headless mode has no prompt to grant them mid-run. This
49
+ is the relay's `--read-only`.
50
+ - **`--yolo` (alias `--dangerously-skip-permissions`):** every tool is allowed, anywhere the process
51
+ can reach. There is no filesystem sandbox and no path restriction. This is what an implementation
52
+ run needs, so the relay passes it by default.
53
+
54
+ `--permission-mode auto-accept` and `--tools-all` do **not** lift the headless write gate. Direct CLI
55
+ probes refused write, edit, and shell with both. So an implementation run
56
+ through Command Code is a full-trust run: scope it with a tight brief and a clean working tree, not
57
+ with a sandbox. The brief is guidance, and a git worktree isolates a checkout without containing the
58
+ process. If writes outside the target tree are unacceptable, use an OS-enforced sandbox such as
59
+ `codex-delegate` or run this one inside a container.
60
+
61
+ Before the first write-capable run, explain this unsandboxed full-trust mode and obtain explicit
62
+ human acceptance. A request to delegate to Command Code is not by itself consent to host-wide access.
63
+
64
+ ## Prerequisites (check once)
65
+
66
+ 1. `cmd --version` succeeds and `cmd status` reports authenticated. If not, install Command Code and
67
+ run `cmd login`.
68
+ 2. **Confirm the CLI on PATH.** On macOS/Linux, `command -v cmd` shows the active `cmd`. On native
69
+ Windows, use `cmdc --version`; `cmd` is the system shell. The relay uses `cmdc` there and launches
70
+ its npm `.cmd` shim through `cmd.exe`. `COMMANDCODE_BIN` remains an absolute-path override and must
71
+ never point to the system command interpreter. The relay records the version it ran in
72
+ `result.json`, so a wrong binary is visible after the fact.
73
+ 3. You are in (or will point `--cd` at) the target git repository, and its tree is clean before you
74
+ dispatch — a full-trust run is much easier to review against a clean baseline.
75
+
76
+ ## The loop
77
+
78
+ Run these five steps per task. Steps 1, 4, and 5 are your judgment; 2 and 3 are mechanical.
79
+
80
+ ### 1. Write the brief
81
+
82
+ Command Code sees **only** the text you send — no repo memory, no chat history, no shared context
83
+ (beyond the repo's own `AGENTS.md`, which it reads automatically). Everything the task needs goes in
84
+ the brief: the goal, the current state, what to change, what to leave untouched, the project's
85
+ **actual** gate commands (discover them from the repo's AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/Makefile — do not assume),
86
+ and a report contract. Tell it that it will **not** commit (you will). Keep one task per brief. Full
87
+ guidance and a template: [references/writing-the-brief.md](references/writing-the-brief.md).
88
+
89
+ ### 2. Dispatch
90
+
91
+ Send the brief to Command Code with the bundled helper. It wraps `cmd -p`, captures the run, and
92
+ writes a structured `result.json` — so your only job is "run a command, read a file." (`<skill-dir>`
93
+ below is this skill's installed directory — the folder containing this `SKILL.md`, i.e. the directory
94
+ you loaded the skill from. Claude Code prints it as "Base directory for this skill" when the skill
95
+ loads; on other orchestrators use that same directory — if unsure where it landed, run
96
+ `find ~ -name relay.mjs -path '*commandcode-delegate*'` and substitute the directory above it.)
97
+
98
+ ```bash
99
+ node "<skill-dir>/scripts/relay.mjs" --brief brief.txt --cd /path/to/repo
100
+ # read-only (review/diagnosis, no edits): add --read-only
101
+ # continue the exact session: add --session <sessionId> (from result.json; send only the delta brief)
102
+ # fallback when no session id is available: add --continue-last
103
+ # hard time limit (watchdog): add --timeout 2h (default: off; implementation runs routinely need 1-2h)
104
+ # see all options: node .../relay.mjs --help
105
+ ```
106
+
107
+ The helper defaults to a write-capable (`--yolo`) run, which intentionally edits the target repository.
108
+ Its temp directory keeps only relay artifacts out of that repository. The relay **never commits** —
109
+ see step 5. Mechanics, flags, and the
110
+ `result.json` shape: [references/dispatch-and-poll.md](references/dispatch-and-poll.md).
111
+
112
+ ### 3. Wait for completion
113
+
114
+ The helper blocks until Command Code finishes, so back it with whatever your orchestrator offers and
115
+ resume when it returns:
116
+
117
+ - **Claude Code:** run the Bash call with `run_in_background: true`; you are notified on completion.
118
+ - **Plain shell / other agents:** run it in the foreground for short tasks, or background it and poll
119
+ the result file — `… &` in bash/zsh, or your shell's equivalent. The run is done when `result.json`
120
+ exists with a `status`. (A pre-run usage error — bad args or an empty brief — instead exits with code
121
+ 2 and a stderr message and writes no result file, so check the exit code too. A missing `cmd` binary
122
+ exits 127 but *does* write a `result.json` with status `commandcode_unavailable`.)
123
+
124
+ Do not trust progress trackers over reality: a run is finished when `result.json` is written and the
125
+ process has exited. Read the working tree, not a status line. The implementer's full report is the
126
+ `finalMessage` field in `result.json` (also printed in full on stdout between the report markers).
127
+
128
+ ### 4. Review — do not trust the self-report
129
+
130
+ `result.json` includes Command Code's own summary and gate claims. **Re-verify, don't accept:**
131
+
132
+ - **Re-run the project's gates yourself** (the test/lint/build commands from step 1). Never take
133
+ "gates passed" on faith.
134
+ - **Read the diff** against the brief: did it do what was asked, nothing more (scope creep) and
135
+ nothing less? `touchedFiles` in the result is your starting point — and because the run was
136
+ full-trust, check for edits *outside* the paths the brief named, not just inside them.
137
+ - **Run the relevant guard skills** on the diff if you have them installed (clean-code-guard,
138
+ test-guard, etc. from `guard-skills`) — this skill produces the work; those skills judge it.
139
+ - For schema/migration changes, round-trip them; for removals, grep for dangling references.
140
+
141
+ Full checklist: [references/review-and-land.md](references/review-and-land.md).
142
+
143
+ ### 5. Land it
144
+
145
+ The relay never commits, but it cannot stop Command Code under `--yolo` from writing `.git`. The brief
146
+ forbids implementer commits, and the reviewer compares `HEAD` with the recorded pre-dispatch baseline
147
+ before landing anything. **The orchestrator commits.** Only after the gates pass and the diff holds:
148
+
149
+ - Commit the verified work yourself, with a clear message.
150
+ - If it needs changes, send a delta brief with `--session <sessionId>` from the prior `result.json`
151
+ (use `--continue-last` only when no session id is available), and review again.
152
+
153
+ ## Read-only second opinions
154
+
155
+ The relay doubles as a clean way to get an adversarial second opinion: dispatch `--read-only` with a
156
+ brief that lists the agreed points, then each contested point with both positions, and ask Command
157
+ Code to defend or concede each — deliverable in its final message, touching no files. The read-only
158
+ guarantee here is the CLI's own permission layer rather than an OS sandbox, so the relay also checks
159
+ it after the fact: `readOnlyViolation: false` means the Git-visible detector saw no change (ignored
160
+ or outside-repository paths are not covered); `true` means it saw one; `null` means git could not tell.
161
+
162
+ ## Authorization model
163
+
164
+ Delegation is something the human opts into. Once they have ("run this queue", "proceed"), committing
165
+ verified, gate-passing work is the agreed contract — that is the whole point. Two limits on that
166
+ mandate: **surface, don't absorb** (report Command Code's design decisions, defensible-but-unasked
167
+ turns, and non-blocking nitpicks rather than silently keeping them) and **stop for scope changes** (if
168
+ correct completion needs going beyond the brief, ask — don't expand the mandate yourself). The full
169
+ treatment is in [references/review-and-land.md](references/review-and-land.md).

184
+
185
+ - Docs-only import — executable `scripts/relay.mjs` not included; see upstream for full runtime. Requires `commandcode` CLI, Node 18+, git.
186
+ - Relay never commits — it only returns structured result JSON; you review and land the commit.
