* fix: route /codex:rescue through the Agent tool to stop Skill recursion (#234) `/codex:rescue` previously combined two things that together caused a hang: - `context: fork` in the frontmatter, which spawns a `general-purpose` subagent for the command body. - Body prose "Route this request to the `codex:codex-rescue` subagent." without naming the transport. When the main agent called `Skill(codex:rescue)` programmatically, the fork resolved the ambiguous prose by trying `Skill(codex:codex-rescue)` (unknown skill) and then falling back to `Skill(codex:rescue)`, which re-entered this command and hung the session until the user cancelled. No Codex job was ever created. Naming the transport as `Agent(codex:codex-rescue)` alone is not enough: forked general-purpose subagents do not expose the `Agent` tool, so the forked runner cannot reach the subagent that way either. The minimal fix is therefore two coordinated changes: - Drop `context: fork` so the command body runs inline in the calling agent's context, where `Agent` is in scope. - Say explicitly "use the `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: "codex:codex-rescue"`", and call out that `Skill(codex:codex-rescue)` and `Skill(codex:rescue)` are not valid routing paths. Add `Agent` to `allowed-tools` so the call does not prompt for permission. Everything else in rescue.md (resume-candidate check, flag handling, background/foreground semantics, operating rules) is unchanged. The `codex:codex-rescue` subagent itself is unchanged. Tests pin the new allow-list, the explicit `subagent_type`, the ban on `Skill(codex:codex-rescue)`, and the absence of `context: fork`. The existing "run the `codex:codex-rescue` subagent in the background" assertion continues to hold since that sentence still reads correctly with the Agent-tool transport.

Invoke the `codex:codex-rescue` subagent via the `Agent` tool (`subagent_type: "codex:codex-rescue"`), forwarding the raw user request as the prompt.
|
|
`codex:codex-rescue` is a subagent, not a skill — do not call `Skill(codex:codex-rescue)` (no such skill) or `Skill(codex:rescue)` (that re-enters this command and hangs the session). The command runs inline so the `Agent` tool stays in scope; forked general-purpose subagents do not expose it.
|
|
The final user-visible response must be Codex's output verbatim.
|
|
|
|
Raw user request:
|
|
$ARGUMENTS
|
|
|
|
Execution mode:
|
|
|
|
- If the request includes `--background`, run the `codex:codex-rescue` subagent in the background.
|
|
- If the request includes `--wait`, run the `codex:codex-rescue` subagent in the foreground.
|
|
- If neither flag is present, default to foreground.
|
|
- `--background` and `--wait` are execution flags for Claude Code. Do not forward them to `task`, and do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text.
|
|
- `--model` and `--effort` are runtime-selection flags. Preserve them for the forwarded `task` call, but do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text.
|
|
- If the request includes `--resume`, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
|
|
- If the request includes `--fresh`, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
|
|
- Otherwise, before starting Codex, check for a resumable rescue thread from this Claude session by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" task-resume-candidate --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- If that helper reports `available: true`, use `AskUserQuestion` exactly once to ask whether to continue the current Codex thread or start a new one.
|
|
- The two choices must be:
|
|
- `Continue current Codex thread`
|
|
- `Start a new Codex thread`
|
|
- If the user is clearly giving a follow-up instruction such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", put `Continue current Codex thread (Recommended)` first.
|
|
- Otherwise put `Start a new Codex thread (Recommended)` first.
|
|
- If the user chooses continue, add `--resume` before routing to the subagent.
|
|
- If the user chooses a new thread, add `--fresh` before routing to the subagent.
|
|
- If the helper reports `available: false`, do not ask. Route normally.
|
|
|
|
Operating rules:
|
|
|
|
- The subagent is a thin forwarder only. It should use one `Bash` call to invoke `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" task ...` and return that command's stdout as-is.
|
|
- Return the Codex companion stdout verbatim to the user.
|
|
- Do not paraphrase, summarize, rewrite, or add commentary before or after it.
|
|
- Do not ask the subagent to inspect files, monitor progress, poll `/codex:status`, fetch `/codex:result`, call `/codex:cancel`, summarize output, or do follow-up work of its own.
|
|
- Leave `--effort` unset unless the user explicitly asks for a specific reasoning effort.
|
|
- Leave the model unset unless the user explicitly asks for one. If they ask for `spark`, map it to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark`.
|
|
- Leave `--resume` and `--fresh` in the forwarded request. The subagent handles that routing when it builds the `task` command.
|
|
- If the helper reports that Codex is missing or unauthenticated, stop and tell the user to run `/codex:setup`.
|
|
- If the user did not supply a request, ask what Codex should investigate or fix.
