## Subagent dispatch requires multi-agent support Add to your Codex config (`~/.codex/config.toml`): ```toml [features] multi_agent = true ``` This enables `spawn_agent`, `wait_agent`, and `close_agent` for skills like `dispatching-parallel-agents` and `subagent-driven-development`. When using subagent-driven-development, close reviewer subagents when their review returns. Keep each implementer subagent open until its task's review passes — the fix loop resumes the implementer — then close it. If your harness cannot send another message to a spawned agent, dispatch each fix round as a fresh implementer carrying the brief, the report file, and the findings. ## Environment Detection Skills that create worktrees or finish branches should detect their environment with read-only git commands before proceeding: ```bash GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P) GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P) BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current) ``` - `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` → already in a linked worktree (skip creation) - `BRANCH` empty → detached HEAD (cannot branch/push/PR from sandbox) See `using-git-worktrees` Step 0 and `finishing-a-development-branch` Step 1 for how each skill uses these signals. ## Codex App Finishing When the sandbox blocks branch/push operations (detached HEAD in an externally managed worktree), the agent commits all work and informs the user to use the App's native controls: - **"Create branch"** — names the branch, then commit/push/PR via App UI - **"Hand off to local"** — transfers work to the user's local checkout The agent can still run tests, stage files, and output suggested branch names, commit messages, and PR descriptions for the user to copy.
