File contents

Skills Router Bridge: OpenAI Codex CLI

Trigger: user text starting /skills-router or skills-router is a registry/routing request. Cheapest path:

Prefer MCP run_slash_command with the full user text.
For structured calls, use refine_routes or route_task; never paste route tables.
Fallback: skills-router chat "<request>" --target codex --agent-id local-agent --json.

Examples: /skills-router install <pkg> for me, skills-router install <pkg> for all agents, /skills-router refine, skills-router route <task>. Scope: default workspace:local-agent; global or all agents uses global routes. Blank/named refine discovers while comparing visible scopes. Safety: uninstall removes only Skills Router metadata. Keep needs_selection inactive until the human confirms. Use --yes or auto_approve only when the user explicitly accepts risk. Reply: prefer human_summary; otherwise status + next action. Do not paste raw JSON unless asked.

Setup: AGENTS.md. MCP: Prefer a local stdio MCP server: command "skills-router", args ["mcp"]. CLI: If MCP is unavailable, run skills-router chat "<slash request>" --target codex --json. Notes: Keep the bridge prompt in AGENTS.md or the project instructions Codex reads.; Prefer JSON output and summarize only the human-facing result.
