What is the Ask Codex skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to send specific questions or tasks to an external 'Codex' model, acting as an independent expert for verification and complex problem-solving.

Where are the expert responses stored?

All responses are automatically saved as Markdown files within the .humanize/skill/ directory, organized by timestamp for easy reference.

What is the default timeout for Codex tasks?

The default timeout is 3600 seconds, but this can be adjusted using the --codex-timeout flag if a task requires more time to complete.

Is it safe to use special characters in my questions?

Yes, the skill is designed to handle shell metacharacters safely by quoting arguments, ensuring that complex questions don't cause shell execution errors.

How do I specify a different model or effort level?

You can use the --codex-model flag followed by the model name and effort level, for example: --codex-model gpt-5.4:high.

Consults an independent expert model to validate complex logic, brainstorm solutions, or execute high-reasoning tasks.

Ask Codex Expert is a specialized Claude Code skill that enables Claude to interface with external high-reasoning models as an independent consultant. This skill is ideal for scenarios requiring a 'second opinion' on architectural decisions, intricate code refactoring, or complex logic validation. By offloading specific queries to an independent Codex instance, users can leverage specialized model configurations and extended timeouts to solve problems that require deeper computation or alternative perspectives than a standard session provides.
