Specialized agents

Git Workflow includes eight specialized agents. The Markdown files in agents/ are canonical; setup installs generated Codex definitions into .codex/agents/ and Claude continues to discover the canonical files through its plugin package.

AgentPurposeCodex sandbox

qa-executor
Executes QA plans and records results

The workflow skills delegate to these agents when appropriate:

  • /review in Claude or $review in Codex fans out to the review specialists and waits for every report.
  • /release or $release delegates release validation and, when dependencies or APIs changed, version-delta analysis.
  • /start-qa or $start-qa delegates large QA plans to qa-executor.

You can also request an agent explicitly, for example: “Use the pr-reviewer agent to review these changes.” Routine edits do not automatically create agent sessions.

Edit agents/<name>.md, then regenerate Codex TOML files:

Terminal window
node scripts/generate-codex-agents.mjs
node scripts/generate-codex-agents.mjs --check

Generated definitions intentionally omit model and reasoning settings so they inherit the parent Codex session.
