## What it is
A curated awesome-list collection of 170+ specialized Codex subagent definitions (TOML files) for OpenAI's Codex CLI, organized into 13 categories of development tasks. Users copy agent files into ~/.codex/agents/ or .codex/agents/ to extend Codex with task-specific AI assistants.

## Use cases
- find prebuilt codex subagents for my project
- add specialized code reviewer agent to codex
- set up custom agents in codex cli
- browse curated list of ai coding agents
- get backend developer or security reviewer agent definitions
- extend openai codex with subagents

## When to choose
- you use OpenAI Codex CLI and want ready-made specialized subagents
- you want a curated reference of agent definitions across many dev categories
- you want MIT-licensed, docs-aligned agent TOML files to copy into your setup

## When to avoid
- you use Claude Code, Cursor, or other agent tools not compatible with Codex agent format
- you need a runtime framework for building agents rather than a list of configs
- you want auto-spawning agents - Codex requires explicit delegation in prompts

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource

- domain: developer-tools, awesome-lists
