1> **Host: Codex CLI** — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex.
2> Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than `/octo:*` slash commands.
3> Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it.
4> For host tool equivalents, see `skills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md`.

10**CRITICAL: You MUST call orchestrate.sh via the native shell command tool. Do NOT research the topic yourself.
11Do NOT use Task agents, web search, or your own knowledge as a substitute. The ONLY valid
12execution path is: Bash → orchestrate.sh probe. If you produce research findings without
13a Bash call to orchestrate.sh, you have violated this contract.**
