Cccc

cccc

Route one bounded request to the other installed local CLI. delegate permits scoped implementation; consult requests a read-only second opinion. The orchestrator validates the result and makes no unverified capability claim.

1. Authorization gate

• An explicit request naming cccc/4C, this wrapper, or a handoff to the installed local Claude Code or Codex peer authorizes that path within the user's scope.
• Bare delegate or consult terms are not launch authorization; treat them as a heuristic until the user confirms the local peer handoff.
• For a heuristic match, only suggest cccc. Confirm with the user before any external CLI launch.
• If user or project instructions prohibit external agents, do not launch a wrapper.

Discovery of this skill is not launch authorization. Apply this gate again immediately before invoking a wrapper.

2. Routing precedence

Use this order exactly:

user instruction > project rules > verified local capability > heuristic

The Codex orchestrator targets Claude; the Claude Code orchestrator targets Codex. Never target itself or infer identity from executable availability.

3. Choose one channel

| Need | Channel | Result | |---|---|---| | Bounded repository implementation with explicit editable paths | delegate | Peer changes plus a report and audit log | | Analysis, critique, or decision support without repository edits | consult | Peer opinion plus an audit log |

Do not use consult as authorization to implement its recommendation. Do not use delegate when the user asked only for analysis.

4. Verify capability

Verify the selected CLI and authentication before launch. Follow [setup](references/setup.md) when a check fails.

For raster images, verify usable Codex $imagegen capability first. Do not promise image generation, a model, effort, cost, or network path.

5. Safety invariants

• Use only the canonical wrappers in this skill. Never construct a looser raw CLI fallback.
• Treat wrapper exit status 0 as the success authority; an existing report or opinion alone is not success.
• DELEGATE_DEPTH and wrapper prompts guard against accidental peer recursion; do not ask the peer to invoke another agent.
• Tool restrictions limit exposed operations. The post-run Git audit detects Git-visible changes; neither control is an OS sandbox. Use external isolation for an untrusted repository.
• The peer must not alter repository history, hide working state, discard files, publish changes, or broaden the requested scope.

6. Load only the chosen workflow

• For implementation, read [delegate workflow](references/delegate.md).
• For a second opinion, read [consult workflow](references/consult.md).
• For installation, migration, authentication, or optional capability checks, read [setup](references/setup.md).
• After a failed wrapper run, read [troubleshooting](references/troubleshooting.md).

Do not preload every reference. The selected workflow contains its card, invocation, and result checks.
