What it does
Codex CLI is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. 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.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `clawdbot-integration.md` and `cli-reference.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Failing and flaky tests, Refactoring and Subagents. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Failing and flaky tests
- Tasks that involve Refactoring
- Tasks that involve Subagents
Example prompts
- “/codex-cli”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Start with /init to create AGENTS.md with repo-specific instructions
- Use /review before commits for AI code review
- Set /approvals appropriately — Auto for trusted repos, Read Only for exploration
- Use --add-dir for monorepos instead of danger-full-access
- Resume sessions to maintain context across coding sessions
- Attach images for UI work, design specs, error screenshots
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
codexnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
mcp.deepwiki.com
Also links to:
developers.openai.comagents.mdgithub.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
OPENAI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Codex CLI loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 495 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 495 words (~1,984 tokens).
“Use OpenAI Codex CLI (codex) for coding tasks including code review, refactoring, bug fixes, CI repairs, and feature implementation. Codex CLI runs locally on your machine with full filesystem access.”
