OpenAI Codex Sub Agents extends your AI assistant with the ability to use OpenAI Codex CLI for coding tasks. Triggers: codex, code review, fix CI, refactor code, implement feature, coding agent, gpt-5-codex. Enables Clawdbot to delegate coding work to Codex CLI as a subagent or direct tool. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using OpenAI Codex Sub Agents as its underlying capability.
OpenAI Codex Sub Agents works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install OpenAI Codex Sub Agents once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
Getting started with OpenAI Codex Sub Agents takes about two minutes. Place the skill at `~/.claude/skills/codex-sub-agents/` (personal, all projects) or `.claude/skills/codex-sub-agents/` (project-specific), then restart your AI client. From that point, typing `/codex-sub-agents` in any conversation activates it, or the AI will use it on its own when it detects a relevant request.
OpenAI Codex Sub Agents has been installed 4,227 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the AI Agent & Automation category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. The source code is open on GitHub β you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/codex-sub-agents/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/codex-sub-agents/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /codex-sub-agents or let the AI discover it automatically.
OpenAI Codex Sub Agents supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
OpenAI Codex Sub Agents is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.
