From octo
Routes ordinary init, review, and security requests to Claude-native capabilities first, escalating to Octopus only when multi-LLM diversity adds value for tasks like adversarial review or provider-specific analysis.

Host: Codex CLI — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex. Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than
/octo:*slash commands. Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it. For host tool equivalents, seeskills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md.
Use this skill when the user asks for repository initialization, code review, or security review and it is not yet clear whether Claude-native behavior is sufficient or whether Octopus escalation is warranted.
Claude-native first:
/init/review/security-reviewOctopus for escalation:
/octo:review/octo:security/octo:debate/octo:multiPrefer Claude-native behavior when all of the following are true:
Examples:
Escalate when the user asks for or clearly benefits from:
Examples:
/octo:review or /octo:security, treat that as an escalation request.Use wording like:
Claude-native first, Octopus for escalation. Use Claude-native
/reviewor/security-reviewfor ordinary requests. Use Octopus when you want multiple model opinions, adversarial review, or stricter multi-LLM workflows.
npx claudepluginhub nyldn/claude-octopus --plugin octoOrchestrates multiple parallel agents to decompose large tasks like migrations, multi-file refactors, or batch work using the Double Diamond methodology.
Use when the user asks to run Claude Code CLI (`claude`, `claude resume`) for review, analysis, implementation, refactoring, debugging, or follow-up specifically through Claude Code.
Delegates implementation and review tasks to external AI CLI tools (Codex, Gemini) with cross-model adversarial review for cost savings and improved accuracy.
