Codex Team

The lead orchestrates, Codex agents execute. Each agent gets one focused task. The team lead prevents file conflicts before spawning — the orchestrator IS the lock manager.

For Claude-runtime feature compatibility (agents/hooks/worktree/settings), use the shared contract at skills/shared/references/claude-code-latest-features.md, mirrored locally at references/claude-code-latest-features.md, when this skill falls back to /swarm.

When to Use

• You have 2+ tasks (bug fixes, implementations, refactors)
• Tasks are well-scoped with clear instructions
• You want Codex execution with predictable isolation
• You may be in Claude or Codex runtime (skill auto-selects backend)

Don't use when: Tasks need tight shared-state coordination. Use /swarm for dependency-heavy wave orchestration.

Backend Selection (MANDATORY)
