docs(codex-tools): add named agent dispatch mapping for Codex#900
Conversation
Design for making using-git-worktrees, finishing-a-development-branch, and subagent-driven-development skills work in the Codex App's sandboxed worktree environment. Read-only environment detection via git-dir vs git-common-dir comparison, ~48 lines across 4 files, zero breaking changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fix three Important issues from spec review: - Clarify Step 1.5 placement relative to existing Steps 2/3 - Re-derive environment state at cleanup time instead of relying on earlier skill output - Acknowledge pre-existing Step 5 cleanup inconsistency Also: precise step references, exact codex-tools.md content, clearer Integration section update instructions.

- Add commit SHA + data loss warning to handoff payload (HIGH) - Add explicit commit step before handoff (HIGH) - Remove misleading "mark as externally managed" from Path B - Add executing-plans 1-line edit (was missing) - Add branch name derivation rules - Add conditional UI language for non-App environments - Add sandbox fallback for permission errors - Add STOP directive after Step 0 reporting Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
codex-tools.mdexplaining how Codex should handle skills that reference named agent types (e.g.,superpowers:code-reviewer)Task tool (superpowers:code-reviewer)→spawn_agent(agent_type="worker", message=...)with the agent's prompt content inlinedmessageparameter is user-level input, not a system promptRawPluginManifestgains anagentsfield)Why
Codex's
spawn_agentrequires pre-registered TOML agent roles — it can't dispatch named agent types defined byagents/*.mdfiles. Skills likerequesting-code-reviewreferencesuperpowers:code-reviewerwhich doesn't exist in Codex. Theworkerbuilt-in + inlined prompt approach avoids duplicating agent definitions across formats.Test plan
Closes #647
