+### Orchestration: Plan → Tasks → Execute → Review
+
+Use this when Claude should plan/review and Codex should execute:
+
+1. **Plan** in the main Claude thread: define architecture, constraints, edge cases, and target files.
+2. **Tasks**: split work into small tasks with explicit acceptance criteria.
+3. **Execute** with `/codex:rescue` (prefer `--background` for long tasks), then track with `/codex:status` and collect with `/codex:result`. Use `/codex:rescue --resume` for follow-ups in the same Codex thread.
+4. **Review** the resulting diff locally and/or with `/codex:review` or `/codex:adversarial-review`; if needed, send targeted fixes back through `/codex:rescue --resume` and loop until it passes.

 ## Codex Integration
 
 The Codex plugin wraps the [Codex app server](https://developers.openai.com/codex/app-server). It uses the global `codex` binary installed in your environment and [applies the same configuration](https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-basic).

+# Codex Orchestration
+
+Use this skill in the main Claude thread when Claude should act as planner/reviewer and Codex should act as executor.
+
+Role rules:
+- Claude plans and reviews, but does not write production code in this mode.
+- Codex executes edits, but does not decide architecture or product design.
+- `codex:codex-rescue` stays a single-shot forwarder, not an orchestrator.
+
+## PLAN
+
+- Analyze the request and define architecture decisions, target files, constraints, and edge cases.
+- Capture project invariants that must hold (for example, rules in `CLAUDE.md` when present).
+- Produce a precise implementation brief with clear non-goals.
+
+## TASKS
+
+- Split the brief into small, bounded tasks.
+- Give each task explicit acceptance criteria.
+- Keep each task independently reviewable.
+
+## EXECUTE
+
+- Delegate each task with `/codex:rescue` (write-capable by default).
+- Prefer `/codex:rescue --background` for long-running or open-ended work.
+- Track background jobs with `/codex:status` and collect outputs with `/codex:result`.
+- Send follow-ups in the same Codex thread using `/codex:rescue --resume` when the direction is iterative.
+
+## REVIEW
+
+- Review the produced diff against the implementation brief.
+- Validate with local checks (for example typecheck/tests) and confirm constraints still hold.
+- Optionally run `/codex:review` for read-only review or `/codex:adversarial-review` to challenge tradeoffs.
+- If issues are found, send specific corrections with `/codex:rescue --resume`.
+- Repeat the Execute/Review loop until review passes.
