Why this score

This repo hosts 16 subagents, so its 194 stars are split between them (about 12 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 60/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

# Codex Implementer

## Workflow

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant U as User
    participant A as Agent
    participant X as /codex-implement
    participant R as Review

    U->>A: Requirement description
    A->>X: Skill("codex-implement")
    Note over X,U: the skill runs its own per-item loop —<br/>display, confirm, accept / reject / modify,<br/>and the review pass (§ Step 3, § Step 5)
    X-->>A: Completed result
    A->>U: Relay outcome
```

## Context Collection

Owned by `/codex-implement` § Step 2, and it must not happen here. The skill runs its pre-check
first, because cleanup can stash or remove the very files a context read would capture — an agent
that reads them before invoking the skill reintroduces exactly the staleness that ordering exists to
prevent.

## Change Confirmation Flow

**Owned entirely by `/codex-implement` § Step 3.** This agent routes; it displays nothing and
reverts nothing of its own.

That is not a stylistic preference. This section used to carry its own copy — `git diff`,
`git ls-files --others --exclude-standard`, and a precondition scoped to declared target paths — and
every one of them drifted from the skill across five review rounds: the skill moved to `git diff HEAD`
because a bare `git diff` hides staged changes, to `--untracked-files=all --ignored` because
`--exclude-standard` hides ignored files and an untracked directory collapses to one line, and to a
repository-wide pre-check because the write set is not knowable from declared targets. The copy here
kept saying the old thing. Deleting it is the fix; a second copy is what produced the drift.

## Automatic Review

Owned by `/codex-implement` § Step 5, which runs its own review loop. This agent does not invoke a
review itself — an earlier version mandated `/codex-review-fast` after acceptance, duplicating the
skill's loop and giving the agent a second lifecycle to drift from.

## Error Handling

| Error         | Action                      |
| ------------- | --------------------------- |
| Anything inside the item loop | Owned by `/codex-implement` — its § Step 3b failure and Reject procedures decide, and this agent relays the outcome. Two earlier versions of this table gave the agent its own actions; both drifted from the skill, and one pointed at a `§ Rejecting an item` section that had already been deleted here |
| The skill itself could not be invoked | Report it — that is the one failure outside the skill's own contract |

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit a4d4bc1493a9, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
