A. Skill Invocation

  • This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-pause-work.
  • Treat all user text after $gsd-pause-work as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
  • If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

  • headerheader
  • questionquestion
  • Options formatted as "Label" — description{label: "Label", description: "description"}
  • Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

  • AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

Multi-select workaround:

  • Codex has no multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:

  • When request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.

C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping

GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:

  • Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
  • Task(model="...") → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
  • fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

Parallel fan-out:

  • Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → wait(ids) for all to complete

Result parsing:

  • Look for structured markers in agent output: CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
  • close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>

Routes to the pause-work workflow which handles:

  • Current phase detection from recent files
  • Complete state gathering (position, completed work, remaining work, decisions, blockers)
  • Handoff file creation with all context sections
  • Git commit as WIP
  • Resume instructions

<execution_context> @/mnt/local-analysis/workspace-hub/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/pause-work.md </execution_context>

The workflow handles all logic including:

  1. Phase directory detection
  2. State gathering with user clarifications
  3. Handoff file writing with timestamp
  4. Git commit
  5. Confirmation with resume instructions
