Delegate coding tasks to OpenAI Codex CLI agent. Use for building features, refactoring, PR reviews, and batch issue fixing. Requires the codex CLI and a git repository.

Install

npx vskill@latest install kaminocorp/hermes-alpha/codex

SKILL.md

The same SKILL.md was published earlier as aivrar/portable-hermes-agent/codex.

Codex CLI

Delegate coding tasks to Codex via the Hermes terminal. Codex is OpenAI's autonomous coding agent CLI.

Prerequisites

  • Codex installed: npm install -g @openai/codex
  • OpenAI API key configured
  • Must run inside a git repository — Codex refuses to run outside one
  • Use pty=true in terminal calls — Codex is an interactive terminal app

One-Shot Tasks

terminal(command="codex exec 'Add dark mode toggle to settings'", workdir="~/project", pty=true)

For scratch work (Codex needs a git repo):

terminal(command="cd $(mktemp -d) && git init && codex exec 'Build a snake game in Python'", pty=true)

Background Mode (Long Tasks)

# Start in background with PTY
terminal(command="codex exec --full-auto 'Refactor the auth module'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
# Returns session_id
 
# Monitor progress
process(action="poll", session_id="<id>")
process(action="log", session_id="<id>")
 
# Send input if Codex asks a question
process(action="submit", session_id="<id>", data="yes")
 
# Kill if needed
process(action="kill", session_id="<id>")

Key Flags

FlagEffect
exec "prompt"One-shot execution, exits when done
--full-autoSandboxed but auto-approves file changes in workspace
--yoloNo sandbox, no approvals (fastest, most dangerous)

PR Reviews

Clone to a temp directory for safe review:

terminal(command="REVIEW=$(mktemp -d) && git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git $REVIEW && cd $REVIEW && gh pr checkout 42 && codex review --base origin/main", pty=true)

Parallel Issue Fixing with Worktrees

# Create worktrees
terminal(command="git worktree add -b fix/issue-78 /tmp/issue-78 main", workdir="~/project")
terminal(command="git worktree add -b fix/issue-99 /tmp/issue-99 main", workdir="~/project")
 
# Launch Codex in each
terminal(command="codex --yolo exec 'Fix issue #78: <description>. Commit when done.'", workdir="/tmp/issue-78", background=true, pty=true)
terminal(command="codex --yolo exec 'Fix issue #99: <description>. Commit when done.'", workdir="/tmp/issue-99", background=true, pty=true)
 
# Monitor
process(action="list")
 
# After completion, push and create PRs
terminal(command="cd /tmp/issue-78 && git push -u origin fix/issue-78")
terminal(command="gh pr create --repo user/repo --head fix/issue-78 --title 'fix: ...' --body '...'")
 
# Cleanup
terminal(command="git worktree remove /tmp/issue-78", workdir="~/project")

Batch PR Reviews

# Fetch all PR refs
terminal(command="git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'", workdir="~/project")
 
# Review multiple PRs in parallel
terminal(command="codex exec 'Review PR #86. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/86'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
terminal(command="codex exec 'Review PR #87. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/87'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
 
# Post results
terminal(command="gh pr comment 86 --body '<review>'", workdir="~/project")

Rules

  1. Always use `pty=true` — Codex is an interactive terminal app and hangs without a PTY
  2. Git repo required — Codex won't run outside a git directory. Use mktemp -d && git init for scratch
  3. Use `exec` for one-shots — codex exec "prompt" runs and exits cleanly
  4. `--full-auto` for building — auto-approves changes within the sandbox
  5. Background for long tasks — use background=true and monitor with process tool
  6. Don't interfere — monitor with poll/log, be patient with long-running tasks
  7. Parallel is fine — run multiple Codex processes at once for batch work
