oh-my-codex (OMX) - Multi-Agent Orchestration for Codex CLI

When to use this skill

Orchestrating complex multi-agent workflows with OpenAI Codex CLI
Running parallel team workers in tmux for coordinated task execution
Using persistent MCP servers for state, memory, and code intelligence
Executing staged pipelines (plan → prd → exec → verify → fix)
Leveraging role-based agent prompts for specialized tasks

1. Core Concepts

Role Prompts (30 Agents)

Agent Tier	Agents	Use Case
Core Development	architect, planner, executor, debugger, verifier, explore	Main development workflow
Quality Assurance	style-reviewer, quality-reviewer, api-reviewer, security-reviewer, performance-reviewer	Code review lane
Domain Experts	dependency-expert, test-engineer, build-fixer, designer, writer, qa-tester	Specialized tasks
Product Strategy	product-manager, ux-researcher, product-analyst, information-architect	Product planning

Workflow Skills (40+)

Skill	Trigger	Description
`autopilot`	`$autopilot`	Full autonomous execution from idea to working code
`ralph`	`$ralph`	Self-referential loop with verifier verification until completion
`ultrawork`	`$ulw`	Maximum parallelism with parallel agent orchestration
`team`	`$team`	N coordinated agents using Codex CLI native teams
`plan`	`$plan`	Strategic planning with consensus and review modes
`research`	`$research`	Parallel scientist agents for comprehensive research
`tdd`	`$tdd`	Test-first development with red-green-refactor cycle
`build-fix`	`$build-fix`	Fix build errors, type errors, and toolchain failures
`code-review`	`$code-review`	Comprehensive code review across all quality dimensions
`security-review`	`$security-review`	Security audit focusing on vulnerabilities and trust boundaries
`cancel`	`$cancel`	Stop execution modes and clear active state

MCP Servers

Server	Purpose
`omx_state`	Persistent mode lifecycle state
`omx_memory`	Memory + notepad surfaces for long-running sessions
`omx_code_intel`	Code intelligence and context
`omx_trace`	Execution tracing and debugging

2. Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

macOS or Linux (Windows via WSL2)
Node.js >= 20
Codex CLI installed (npm install -g @openai/codex)
Codex auth configured

Install oh-my-codex

npm install -g oh-my-codex
omx setup
omx doctor

Recommended Launch Profile

# Trusted environment with high reasoning
omx --xhigh --madmax

3. Usage Patterns

Role Prompts (Inside Codex)

/prompts:architect "analyze current auth boundaries"
/prompts:executor "implement input validation in login"
/prompts:security-reviewer "audit OAuth flow"

Workflow Skills

$plan "ship OAuth callback safely"
$autopilot "implement user registration"
$team 3:executor "fix all TypeScript errors"

Team Mode (Terminal)

# Start parallel team workers
omx team 4:executor "parallelize a multi-module refactor"

# Monitor team status
omx team status <team-name>

# Resume team work
omx team resume <team-name>

# Shutdown team
omx team shutdown <team-name>

4. Launch Flags

Flag	Description
`--yolo`	Fast execution, minimal verification
`--high`	High reasoning effort
`--xhigh`	Extra-high reasoning effort
`--madmax`	Maps to Codex `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox`
`--force`	Force operation
`--dry-run`	Preview without execution
`--verbose`	Verbose output

5. Staged Pipeline

OMX implements a structured execution pipeline:

team-plan → team-prd → team-exec → team-verify → team-fix

Plan: Strategic decomposition of work
PRD: Product requirements definition
Exec: Parallel execution by team workers
Verify: Validation of deliverables
Fix: Automated error resolution

6. Hook Extensions (v0.4.0+)

Native Lifecycle Events

session-start / session-end / session-idle
turn-complete

Plugin Workflow

# Enable hook plugins
OMX_HOOK_PLUGINS=1 omx hooks test

# Hook commands
omx hooks init     # Initialize hooks
omx hooks status   # Check hook status
omx hooks validate # Validate configuration
omx hooks test     # Test hook execution

Plugin files: .omx/hooks/*.mjs

7. Configuration

AGENTS.md Injection

By default, OMX injects project-level AGENTS.md:

-c model_instructions_file="<cwd>/AGENTS.md"

Environment Controls

# Disable AGENTS.md injection
OMX_BYPASS_DEFAULT_SYSTEM_PROMPT=0 omx

# Custom instructions file
OMX_MODEL_INSTRUCTIONS_FILE=/path/to/instructions.md omx
