Codex Read Skill

Read the response from Codex and integrate findings.

Steps

Before any file operations, resolve the .agent-collab directory so commands work outside the project root:

CopyAGENT_COLLAB_DIR="${AGENT_COLLAB_DIR:-}"
if [ -n "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR" ]; then
  if [ -d "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/.agent-collab" ]; then
    AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/.agent-collab"
  elif [ ! -d "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR" ]; then
    AGENT_COLLAB_DIR=""
  fi
fi

if [ -z "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR" ]; then
  AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="$(pwd)"
  while [ "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR" != "/" ] && [ ! -d "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/.agent-collab" ]; do
    AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="$(dirname "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR")"
  done
  AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/.agent-collab"
fi

If $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR does not exist, stop and ask for the project root.

1. Check Status

Read $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/status:

• idle: No pending task. Inform user.
• pending: Codex hasn't started. Check Codex pane.
• working: Codex still processing. Wait.
• done: Proceed to read response.

2. Read Response

Read $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/responses/response.md and parse:

• Task type completed
• Findings/output
• Any code produced
• Recommendations

3. Present to User

Summarize clearly based on task type:

For CODE_REVIEW:

• Bugs/issues with severity
• Security concerns
• Performance issues
• Suggested improvements

For IMPLEMENT:

• What was implemented
• Approach taken
• Integration instructions

For PLAN_REVIEW:

• Critique summary
• Identified risks
• Alternative suggestions

4. Integrate (if applicable)

For implementations:

• Ask if user wants to integrate
• Apply changes if yes
• Run relevant tests

5. Reset Status

Write idle to $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/status

6. Next Steps

Suggest appropriate follow-up:

• Reviews: Address issues found
• Implementations: Test and validate
• Plan reviews: Iterate on plan
