Provenance

Scouted from github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-codex-subagents at commit 16f880a2a0486f880da75d2baffcd68af4cc4811 (2026-10-05). Licence MIT. Upstream credit: VoltAgent. Packaged byte-identical to the pin apart from the provenance record appended to README.md. Upstream code and licence stay upstream's.

Brought into the catalogue by TalentDelta Team Member (Scout).

Our review

What we like A complete, tidy set: exactly one hundred seventy-five TOML subagent definitions across thirteen category directories, each with a name, description, model guidance and a system prompt. Every file in the upstream tree ships, with no exclusions, and the size the change note states checks out.

Potential improvements Nothing material. These are configuration definitions rather than prose, so the pack's value rests on the upstream set as it stands.

Minimum requirements Root readme, contributing guide, thirteen category readmes and the MIT licence all ship; the tree matches the pinned commit.

Security risks No token-shaped strings, host paths or binaries; the only licence text is the pack's own. Nothing third-party is vendored.

Tested: archive, counts and licence read from the stored bytes. Not tested: a live install, the pack being private.

Contributing to Awesome Codex Subagents

Thanks for contributing.

This repository is a curated collection of Codex-native subagents (.toml files). Contributions should prioritize practical usefulness, clear scope, and compatibility with official Codex behavior.

How to Contribute

Add a New Subagent
1. Choose the correct category under categories/.
2. Add one .toml file for the new agent.
3. Update both:
  - README.md (main category listing)
  - categories/<category>/README.md (linked bullet + short description)
4. Keep agent names sorted alphabetically where possible.
5. Open a PR with the use case and why this agent is distinct.
Improve an Existing Subagent
1. Keep the role bounded (avoid broad persona text).
2. Preserve Codex-native format.
3. Update relevant README descriptions if behavior or intent changed.
4. Include before/after rationale in your PR.
Required Agent Format

Each agent must be a valid TOML file and include:
- name
- description
- developer_instructions
Common optional fields:
- model

- mcp_servers
Authoring Quality Bar

developer_instructions should be concrete and task-shaped. Use this structure:
- Working mode
- Focus on
- Quality checks
- Return
- Do not ... unless explicitly requested by the parent agent.
Avoid:
- Unsupported tool/platform assumptions
- Generic roleplay text with no output contract
- Scope creep instructions ("always do everything")
Model and Sandbox Guidance
- Prefer gpt-5.6-sol for deep reasoning, security, architecture, and critical review roles.

Awesome Codex Subagents

This repository serves as the definitive collection of Codex Subagents, specialized AI assistants designed for specific development tasks. Written specifically for Codex and aligned with the official docs.

Installation

Use Codex custom agent directories exactly as documented:

~/.codex/agents/ for global agents (available in all projects)
.codex/agents/ for project-specific agents (higher precedence in that repo)

Clone this repository.
Copy the .toml agent files you want into one of the directories above.
Restart or refresh your Codex session if needed.
Delegate explicitly in prompts (Codex does not auto-spawn custom subagents).

Examples:

mkdir -p ~/.codex/agents
cp categories/01-core-development/backend-developer.toml ~/.codex/agents/

mkdir -p .codex/agents
cp categories/04-quality-security/reviewer.toml .codex/agents/

If you use agent configuration in Codex, keep it in .codex/config.toml under [agents] as described in the official docs.


	Crawlbase is web data infrastructure trusted by 70,000+ developers. Its Crawling API, MCP server, and integrations give AI agents live access to any webpage — with JavaScript rendering, proxy rotation, and anti-bot protection.
	SerpApi is a Web Search API for your AI apps. Available in Markdown and JSON for any integration.

Type	Path	Availability	Precedence
Project Subagents	`.codex/agents/`	Current project only	Higher
Global Subagents	`~/.codex/agents/`	All projects	Lower

Subagent Structure

Each subagent uses a Codex-native .toml format:

name = "subagent-name"
description = "When this agent should be invoked"
model = "gpt-5.6-luna"
model_reasoning_effort = "medium"
sandbox_mode = "read-only"

[instructions]
text = """
You are a [role description and expertise areas]...

[Agent-specific checklists, patterns, and guidelines]...
"""

Smart Model Routing

Each subagent includes a model field that automatically routes it to the right model -- balancing quality and cost:

Model	When It's Used	Examples
`gpt-5.6-sol`	Deep reasoning -- architecture reviews, security audits, financial logic	`security-auditor`, `architect-reviewer`, `fintech-engineer`
`gpt-5.6-terra`	Implementation, diagnostics, evaluation, and multi-step professional analysis	`docker-expert`, `test-automator`, `scientific-literature-researcher`
`gpt-5.6-luna`	Bounded search, extraction, routing, drafting, and lightweight synthesis	`search-specialist`, `docs-researcher`, `agent-installer`

Sandbox Mode Philosophy

Each subagent's sandbox_mode field controls filesystem access:

Read-only agents (reviewers, auditors): sandbox_mode = "read-only" - analyze without modifying
Workspace-write agents (developers, engineers): sandbox_mode = "workspace-write" - create and modify files

Understanding Subagents

Subagents are specialized AI assistants that enhance Codex's capabilities by providing task-specific expertise. They act as dedicated helpers that Codex can call upon when encountering particular types of work.

What Makes Subagents Special?

Independent Context Windows Every subagent operates within its own isolated context space, preventing cross-contamination between different tasks and maintaining clarity in the primary conversation thread.

Domain-Specific Intelligence Subagents come equipped with carefully crafted instructions tailored to their area of expertise, resulting in superior performance on specialized tasks.

Shared Across Projects After creating a subagent, you can utilize it throughout various projects and distribute it among team members to ensure consistent development practices.

Explicit Delegation Codex does not spawn subagents automatically. Use explicit delegation prompts to specify which agents to spawn, how to divide the work, and what shape the result should take.

Core Advantages

Memory Efficiency: Isolated contexts prevent the main conversation from becoming cluttered with task-specific details
Enhanced Accuracy: Specialized prompts and configurations lead to better results in specific domains
Workflow Consistency: Team-wide subagent sharing ensures uniform approaches to common tasks
Codex-Native: Uses .toml agent files aligned with official Codex subagent docs

Example Workflows

PR review workflow:

Review this branch with parallel subagents. Have reviewer look for correctness, security, and missing tests. Have docs_researcher verify the framework APIs this patch depends on. Wait for both and summarize the findings with file references.

Bug investigation workflow:

Investigate the broken settings flow. Have code_mapper trace the owning code paths, browser_debugger reproduce the bug in the browser, and frontend_developer propose the smallest fix after the failure is understood. Wait for the read-heavy agents first, then continue.

Repo exploration and planning workflow:

Use search_specialist to locate the code related to payment retries, knowledge_synthesizer to summarize the current design, and refactoring_specialist to propose a minimal refactor plan. Return a concrete action list.

AI Design + Build Ecosystem Tools

You ship products with AI, but every launch still dies quietly because nobody posts about it. EveryFeed plugs your AI assistant into a social workspace that drafts, schedules, and publishes across 35+ channels — no agency, no marketing hire.

3. Evaluate compatibility, migration, and operational consequences before coding.

Focus on:
- resource and endpoint modeling aligned to domain boundaries
- request and response schema clarity
- validation semantics and error model consistency
- auth, authorization, and tenant-scoping expectations in the contract
- pagination, filtering, sorting, and partial response strategy where relevant

Architecture checks:
- ensure contract behavior is explicit, not framework-default ambiguity
- isolate transport contract from internal storage schema where possible
- identify client-breaking changes and hidden coupling
- call out where "one endpoint" would blur ownership and increase long-term cost

Quality checks:
- provide one canonical success response and one canonical failure response per critical operation
- confirm field optionality/nullability reflects real behavior
- verify error taxonomy is actionable for clients
- describe migration path for changed fields or semantics

Return:
- proposed contract changes or new contract draft
- rationale tied to domain and client impact

2. Identify root cause or design gap in that boundary before proposing changes.
3. Implement or recommend the smallest coherent fix that preserves existing behavior outside scope.
4. Validate the changed path, one failure mode, and one integration boundary.

Focus on:

- async flow safety across promises, events, and task ordering
- module boundary clarity (ESM/CommonJS) in touched code
- input validation and explicit failure behavior
- side effects around shared mutable state and caching
- compatibility with existing build/transpile targets
- pragmatic fixes that preserve current architecture

Quality checks:
- verify changed behavior for both fulfilled and rejected async paths
- confirm no unhandled promise rejections or silent error swallowing
- check module import/export assumptions in affected runtime
- ensure data-shape assumptions are validated at boundary inputs
- call out cross-environment checks when browser and Node behaviors differ
