## Description

Onboard, initialize or repair, validate, and launch a Praxist research task in Codex-native mode through the official Codex SDK runtime and the operator's existing saved ChatGPT login, with catalog-verified gpt-5.6-luna as the default model and without requesting, storing, or using an API key. Use when a user wants a low-interaction no-key Praxist takeover, explicitly requests Codex-native mode, has no provider key, or invokes this skill with no additional text after already logging in to Codex.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Praxist Takeover: Codex-native mode

Run the complete Praxist takeover workflow while making Codex-native mode the
explicit operator choice. The mode uses the operator's saved ChatGPT login. The user invokes this
skill once; the current agent performs the checks and shell operations. Do not ask the user
to type Praxist commands, provider names, model names, or API keys.

## Composition Contract

Load the currently installed `praxist-takeover` `SKILL.md` and follow its
complete current workflow. In particular:

- run complete onboarding first;
- use the complete current task-initialization or repair workflow when needed;
- preserve evaluator, protocol, lane-routing, resource, and launch-readiness
  checks;
- preserve the user's explicit protocol-intent permissions, including an
  intentionally reduced or incomplete authoritative mode; Codex-native mode
  changes runtime/authentication only and must not strengthen task semantics;
- preserve the task-initialization closing-policy regression and positive
  mature normal-close gate whenever the task defines close-grade evidence;
- validate with `praxist resolve`;
- launch detached, confirm status, and report the independent monitor command.
- preserve the common `agent.reasoning_effort` policy; use `max` unless the
  user explicitly selected another supported value.

Do not copy or reconstruct an abbreviated takeover from memory. This skill
overrides only authentication/runtime selection and the unambiguous-path
confirmation behavior described below. If a base takeover instruction conflicts
with this file on those points, this file wins.

Treat invocation of `praxist-takeover-codex` as the user's explicit choice of:
