Subagent Manager is a Codex Skill that lets Codex lead a team of AI subagents: it decides what to delegate, picks the right model for each piece, hands over the context it needs, and checks every result. v1.3.0 makes long delegated work survive interruptions, gives delegates fuller context, and narrows each specialist to the job it does best.
Highlights
- Picks up after interruptions. After an interruption or context compaction, the lead checks whether each delegate can continue. It reuses delegates that can, keeps finished and verified work, and reassigns only what is left, without guessing at missing progress.
- Always the latest rules. The Skill now carries a rule version (
2026-10-14.1). The agent checks it at each new turn and after an interruption, and rereads the rules only when they have changed. - Fuller context handoffs. With
fork_turns: "all", a Sol delegate inherits the whole conversation and the lead's model and effort. Independently configured delegates get an explicit model and effort plus a sufficient brief, and important consultations receive the original material rather than a short summary. - Sharper specialist roles. GPT-6 Astra returns as a selective expert for consultation, independent review, and difficult execution (mainly Max, Xhigh as needed). Luna Max takes over routine text work. Gemini via AGY now focuses on video and related frame analysis, with an explicit model and effort and clear notes on video sampling.
- Grok research encouraged. Use Grok whenever search helps. Daily use above 30% of the weekly allowance now triggers a single reminder; it no longer pauses research or stops new Grok tasks.
