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.
| Agent | Purpose | Codex sandbox |
|---|---|---|
pr-reviewer |
Reviews code quality, security, performance, tests, and documentation | read-only |
silent-failure-hunter |
Finds swallowed errors and misleading fallbacks | read-only |
type-design-analyzer |
Evaluates invariants and type design | read-only |
pr-test-analyzer |
Identifies behavioral test-coverage gaps | read-only |
comment-analyzer |
Detects inaccurate comments and documentation | read-only |
version-delta-analyst |
Researches breaking changes and migration steps | read-only |
release-validator |
Runs pre-release checks and reports readiness | workspace-write |
qa-executor |
Executes QA plans and records results | workspace-write |
Invocation
Section titled “Invocation”The workflow skills delegate to these agents when appropriate:
/reviewin Claude or$reviewin Codex fans out to the review specialists and waits for every report./releaseor$releasedelegates release validation and, when dependencies or APIs changed, version-delta analysis./start-qaor$start-qadelegates large QA plans toqa-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.
Maintaining agents
Section titled “Maintaining agents”Edit agents/<name>.md, then regenerate Codex TOML files:
node scripts/generate-codex-agents.mjsnode scripts/generate-codex-agents.mjs --checkGenerated definitions intentionally omit model and reasoning settings so they inherit the parent Codex session.
