skill-native-escalation-routing

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`.

7# Native-First Escalation Routing
8 
9Use this skill when the user asks for repository initialization, code review, or security review and it is not yet clear whether Claude-native behavior is sufficient or whether Octopus escalation is warranted.
10 
11## Core Policy
12 
13Claude-native first:
14 
15- `/init`
16- `/review`
17- `/security-review`
18 
19Octopus for escalation:
20 
21- `/octo:review`
22- `/octo:security`
23- `/octo:debate`
24- `/octo:multi`
25 
26## Route to Claude-Native First
27 
28Prefer Claude-native behavior when all of the following are true:
29 
30- the request maps directly to init, review, or security review
31- the user did not ask for multiple model opinions
32- the user did not ask for Codex, Antigravity, or another provider explicitly
33- the task does not require adversarial debate, consensus scoring, or external-provider specialization
34 
35Examples:
36 
37- "initialize this repo"
38- "review my staged changes"
39- "security review this auth module"
40 
41## Escalate to Octopus
42 
43Escalate when the user asks for or clearly benefits from:
44 
45- multiple model opinions
46- adversarial review
47- debate between providers
