# Execution Router

Use this skill when a task should be delegated or broken into a smaller execution slice.

## Classification

- **Simple**: answer directly or run one small command yourself.
- **Medium**: inspect, plan briefly, execute in Hermes, then verify.
- **Heavy isolated coding**: route to Codex CLI with a concrete implementation prompt.

## Codex Routing

Use the wrapper script:

```bash
~/.hermes/skills/execution-router/scripts/delegate_to_codex.sh "your concrete implementation prompt" "/absolute/workdir"
```

Default mode is `--full-auto`, which keeps Codex inside its workspace-write sandbox.

If the user explicitly wants the most permissive path and the environment is already trusted, add `--dangerous`:

```bash
~/.hermes/skills/execution-router/scripts/delegate_to_codex.sh --dangerous "prompt" "/absolute/workdir"
```

## Rules

1. Route only bounded coding tasks, not vague life-management requests.
2. Use the real installed syntax: `codex exec`, not deprecated or invented flags.
3. Prefer the current repository as the workdir.
4. If the workdir is not a git repo, the wrapper will create a temporary scratch repo.
5. Always pass a concrete prompt with scope, files, and verification expectations.

## Verification

- Confirm Codex exited successfully.
- Read the wrapper summary and inspect resulting diffs or files before reporting completion.
