# OpenAI Codex Operator
Use this skill to reliably call Codex CLI from OpenClaw.
Core rules
1. Verify Codex CLI exists (`codex --version`) before first task.
2. Always run Codex through OpenClaw `exec` with `pty:true`.
3. Always set explicit `workdir` to the target repository.
4. For long tasks, use `background:true` and track via `process`.
5. Report clear milestones: started, waiting-input, finished/failed.
Execution patterns
One-shot coding task
Use:
Interactive session
Use:
Long-running background task
1. Start with `exec(background:true, pty:true, workdir, command:"codex exec ...")`
2. Record returned `sessionId`.
3. Poll with `process action:poll`.
4. Read output with `process action:log`.
5. If Codex asks for input, use `process action:submit`.
