Delegate investigation, an explicit fix request, or follow-up rescue work to the Codex rescue subagent	[--background|--wait] [--resume|--fresh] [--model <model|spark>] [--effort <none|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh>] [what Codex should investigate, solve, or continue]	fork	Bash(node:*), AskUserQuestion

Route this request to the codex:codex-rescue subagent. The final user-visible response must be Codex's output verbatim.

Raw user request: $ARGUMENTS

Execution mode:

• If the request includes --background, run the codex:codex-rescue subagent in the background.
• If the request includes --wait, run the codex:codex-rescue subagent in the foreground.
• If neither flag is present, default to foreground.
• --background and --wait are execution flags for Claude Code. Do not forward them to task, and do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text.
• --model and --effort are runtime-selection flags. Preserve them for the forwarded task call, but do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text.
• If the request includes --resume, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
• If the request includes --fresh, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
• Otherwise, before starting Codex, check for a resumable rescue thread from this Claude session by running:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" task-resume-candidate --json

• If that helper reports available: true, use AskUserQuestion exactly once to ask whether to continue the current Codex thread or start a new one.
• The two choices must be:
  • Continue current Codex thread
  • Start a new Codex thread
• If the user is clearly giving a follow-up instruction such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", put Continue current Codex thread (Recommended) first.
• Otherwise put Start a new Codex thread (Recommended) first.
• If the user chooses continue, add --resume before routing to the subagent.
• If the user chooses a new thread, add --fresh before routing to the subagent.
• If the helper reports available: false, do not ask. Route normally.

Operating rules:

• The subagent is a thin forwarder only. It should use one Bash call to invoke node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" task ... and return that command's stdout as-is.
• Return the Codex companion stdout verbatim to the user.
• Do not paraphrase, summarize, rewrite, or add commentary before or after it.
• Do not ask the subagent to inspect files, monitor progress, poll /codex:status, fetch /codex:result, call /codex:cancel, summarize output, or do follow-up work of its own.
• Leave --effort unset unless the user explicitly asks for a specific reasoning effort.
• Leave the model unset unless the user explicitly asks for one. If they ask for spark, map it to gpt-5.3-codex-spark.
• Leave --resume and --fresh in the forwarded request. The subagent handles that routing when it builds the task command.
• If the helper reports that Codex is missing or unauthenticated, stop and tell the user to run /codex:setup.
• If the user did not supply a request, ask what Codex should investigate or fix.
