The Codex Status skill provides a streamlined way to monitor and manage the current state of the Claude-Codex collaboration within a project. It addresses the challenge of tracking AI-assisted tasks by offering a centralized mechanism to check whether Codex is idle, processing a request, or has completed a task. By consolidating status information and task previews, it helps developers maintain situational awareness of ongoing AI interactions without manually navigating multiple files or directories.

This skill offers several key capabilities. Users can read the current status of Codex to determine if it is idle, pending, working, or done. When a task is active, it allows the user to view and summarize the current task, including its type and a brief description. Once a task is completed, the skill can provide a preview of the response generated by Codex. Additionally, it offers suggested actions tailored to the current status, guiding the user on how to proceed with delegation or reviewing results. It ensures that all operations are performed relative to the `.agent-collab` directory, automatically resolving the project root when necessary.

Typical use cases for this skill include managing AI-assisted code reviews, monitoring implementation tasks, and reviewing AI-generated plans or outputs. It is particularly useful for developers, project managers, or technical leads who rely on Codex for collaboration in software projects. By providing a clear overview of task progress and offering actionable recommendations, the skill enhances productivity and ensures efficient coordination between human users and AI collaborators.
