Key Contributions

• Maps Codex CLI concepts to concrete file locations: agents, skills, plugins, workflows, MCP, config, rules, hooks, and review controls.
• Adds repo-native advice that complements official docs, especially around phase-gated plans, AGENTS.md size discipline, and multi-agent review.
• Shows where Codex differs from the Claude-style command pattern, rather than pretending the two execution surfaces are identical.
• Places Codex beside adjacent workflow repos, making ecosystem comparison part of the operator workflow.

Strongest Claims

• Good Codex operation depends on small, durable control surfaces rather than giant prompt blobs.
• Multiple agents are best used as deliberate test-time compute, not as hype-driven default fan-out.
• Stable skills and rules reduce ambiguity more reliably than ad hoc session steering.
