-# Codex Tool Mapping

-Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file"). On Codex these resolve to the tools below.

-| Action skills request | Codex equivalent |
|
|
|
-|----------------------|------------------|
|
|
|
-| Read a file | `shell` (e.g., `cat`, `head`, `tail`) — Codex reads files via shell |
|
|
|
-| Create / edit / delete a file | `apply_patch` (structured diff for create, update, delete) |
|
|
|
-| Run a shell command | `shell` |
|
|
|
-| Search file contents | `shell` (e.g., `grep`, `rg`) |
|
|
|
-| Find files by name | `shell` (e.g., `find`, `ls`) |
|
|
|
-| Fetch a URL | `shell` with `curl` / `wget` — Codex has no native fetch tool |
|
|
|
-| Search the web | `web_search` (enabled by default; configurable in `config.toml` via the top-level `web_search` setting — `live`, `cached`, or `disabled`) |
|
|
|
-| Invoke a skill | Skills load natively — just follow the instructions |
|
|
|
-| Dispatch a subagent (`Subagent (general-purpose):` template) | `spawn_agent` (see [Subagent dispatch requires multi-agent support](#subagent-dispatch-requires-multi-agent-support)) |
|
|
|
-| Multiple parallel dispatches | Multiple `spawn_agent` calls in one response |
|
|
|
-| Wait for subagent result | `wait_agent` |
|
|
|
-| Free up subagent slot when done | `close_agent` |
|
|
|
-| Task tracking ("create a todo", "mark complete") | `update_plan` |
