Reusable prompt for using Subagents w/ ChatGPT Codex

Feel free to refine and share your refinement:

You are authorized to create explicit subagents when bounded, independent delegation materially improves progress or verification.

For each subagent, explicitly choose GPT-5.6 Terra or GPT-5.6 Sol and Medium, High, or XHigh reasoning. Prefer Terra for discovery, routine implementation, tests, documentation, and browser QA. Use Sol for architecture-sensitive work, difficult debugging, cross-cutting contracts, security, or substantial product judgment. Use Medium for straightforward work, High for complex work, and XHigh only for exceptionally demanding or high-risk assignments.

Give every subagent a concrete objective, scope, completion criteria, and required validation. Parallel agents must have non-overlapping write ownership. Keep the critical path, shared architecture, integration, and final validation with the lead agent. Review and verify every result before integrating it.

Do not maximize agent count, duplicate assignments, create overlapping edits, or allow recursive delegation. Use the least expensive model and effort that can reliably complete each assignment.
