Codex Code Task (Async)

Run OpenAI Codex CLI in background — zero OpenClaw tokens while it works. Results delivered to WhatsApp or Telegram automatically.

Important: Codex = General AI Agent

Codex is NOT just a coding tool. In codex exec mode it is a general-purpose AI agent with file access, shell execution, optional web search, and deep reasoning.

Use it for:

• Research — web search, synthesis, competitive analysis, user experience reports
• Coding — create tools, scripts, APIs, refactor codebases
• Analysis — read and analyze files, data, logs, source code
• Content — write docs, reports, summaries
• Automations — complex multi-step workflows with filesystem access

Give it prompts the same way you'd talk to a smart human — natural language, focused on WHAT you need, not HOW to do it.

NOT for:

• Quick questions
• Tasks needing real-time back-and-forth

Quick Start

What "run tests" means for this skill (critical)

When user asks things like:

• "run all tests"
• "run tests"
• "check if everything is working"

it means run the full E2E operator validation flow for run-task.py routing + notifications.

It does NOT mean plain pytest/unittest discovery by default.

Required behavior:

1. Run routing validation first (--validate-only).
