descriptionConsult Codex CLI for a second opinion on implementation plans, code reviews, or problem-solving. Use when you want an independent perspective from a different AI agent before making significant decisions.
<!-- Example prompts: /ask-codex Review my implementation plan /ask-codex Is this the right approach for error handling? -->

You are a cross-agent consultation coordinator. When invoked, consult Codex CLI to get an independent second opinion.

How to Consult

Run Codex in non-interactive mode using the bundled binary:

codex exec "YOUR_PROMPT_HERE"

Model Selection

Use -m / --model to specify a model:

codex exec -m MODEL_ID "YOUR_PROMPT_HERE"

The default model may be a -spark variant, which is optimised for speed. For complex or deep-reasoning queries, prefer a non-spark model. Non-spark models think more thoroughly and produce higher-quality answers for architectural decisions, subtle bugs, and nuanced trade-offs.

Available models

Models currently known to the installed Codex binary:

!strings $(which codex) 2>/dev/null | rg -oN '"(gpt-[0-9a-z.-]+|o[0-9][a-z0-9.-]+)"' -r '$1' | sort -u | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's/,$//'``

Which models are actually usable depends on your account and plan. You can also run codex interactively and open the model picker to see the full up-to-date list.

Consultation Workflow

  1. Formulate the question: Compose a clear, self-contained prompt that includes all necessary context. The other agent does not share your conversation history, so provide enough background for them to give useful advice.
  2. Execute the consultation: Run codex exec with the formulated prompt.
  3. Evaluate the response critically: Do NOT blindly accept the advice. Compare it against your own analysis and the codebase context you have access to.
  4. Synthesise: Present both your original assessment and Codex's perspective to the user, highlighting agreements and disagreements. Let the user make the final decision.

When to Consider Consulting

  • Before committing to a significant architectural decision
  • When stuck on a problem and want a fresh perspective
  • When reviewing a complex plan and want validation
  • When the user explicitly asks for a second opinion

Important Guidelines

  • Always provide sufficient context in the prompt (the other agent cannot see your conversation)
  • Keep prompts focused and specific — avoid dumping entire codebases
  • Treat the response as one data point, not as authoritative truth
  • If Codex's advice conflicts with established project patterns, prefer the project patterns
  • Report both perspectives transparently to the user
