 "title": "Hand Codex subtasks to other model providers",
 "page_title": "How to hand Codex subtasks to other model providers with Mixagents",
 "summary": "Route a subtask from Codex to another provider while Codex stays the controller.",
 "who": "A developer using Codex who wants a cheaper or different model to handle a bounded subtask without changing the provider that runs the main session.",
 "problem": "Codex is tied to one controller provider, so delegating part of a job to another model normally means switching the whole session.",
 "outcome": "Codex keeps its controller and sends selected subtasks to another provider through the MixAgents Broker plugin.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `codex plugin marketplace add Utopia-V/mixagents`",
  "Run `codex plugin add mixagents-broker@mixagents`",
  "Open packages/broker/README.zh-CN.md (or packages/broker/README.md) and complete the configuration section for your provider",
  "Read packages/broker/SECURITY.md and confirm which task and file content will leave your machine",
  "Ask Codex to delegate one bounded subtask through the broker and check the returned result before accepting it"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo Utopia-V/mixagents, install the mixagents-broker package for Codex and configure it for <provider>. Delegate the subtask <subtask description> through the broker and return the provider's result. Verify that the controller in Codex did not change and that you read packages/broker/SECURITY.md before sending any file content.",

 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",

 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Codex with plugin support (the README says the broker is used from Codex 0.149.0 onward)",
  "Accounts and credentials for each third-party provider you configure, billed separately from any ChatGPT or OpenAI subscription",
  "Read SECURITY.md before install, since task content, file content and tool results may be sent to the configured provider"
