Individual skill
codex-background
Keep a Codex orchestrator's delegation to an installed delegate skill pending until its registered relay completes, without model-driven progress polling. Use with a selected implementer delegate skill when Codex is the orchestrator and the delegation should wait in the background; sets up its MCP server on first use.

# Codex background delegation
This support skill changes Codex's waiting boundary. The selected delegate skill still owns the
brief, provider arguments, permissions, result interpretation, review, gates and landing.
Claude's background Bash workflow stays unchanged. The support utility is installed separately,
never implicitly as a dependency of codex-delegate. Details: [references/configuration.md](references/configuration.md).
## First use / setup
If the `delegate_run` tool is not available, setup is incomplete. Tell the user that bootstrap will
update `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` (default `~/.codex/config.toml`, backed up first) and write a registry of
the installed `*-delegate` skills, then run:
```bash
