What problem are you trying to solve?

Codex-visible Superpowers skills can refer to legacy or deferred tool names. Issue #1883 notes that Codex sessions may need host-specific adapter wording for cases like TodoWrite, deferred multi-agent tools, and tool discovery.

The existing Codex reference already documents config for multi-agent support, but it names spawn_agent, wait_agent, and close_agent directly without first telling Codex agents to discover deferred tools through tool_search, and it does not document the TodoWrite to update_plan mapping.

What does this PR change?

Adds a small Tool Mapping section to skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-tools.md documenting Codex-specific handling for task tracking and deferred multi-agent tools.

Is this change appropriate for the core library?

Yes. This is host-adapter documentation for Codex-visible Superpowers skills and belongs in the existing Codex reference file rather than in a project-specific plugin.

What alternatives did you consider?

I considered updating each active skill body, but that would broaden the change and risk disturbing behavior-shaping instructions. Keeping this in the Codex-specific reference file is smaller and follows the existing platform-adaptation structure.

Does this PR contain multiple unrelated changes?

No. It only updates the Codex platform reference with deferred tool and task-list mapping guidance.

Evaluation

  • Initial prompt: Anita asked for a PR contribution to obra/superpowers.
  • Eval sessions run after the change: 0; docs-only Codex reference update.
  • Before/after: before, the Codex reference documented multi-agent config but did not tell agents to discover deferred multi-agent tools with tool_search or map older TodoWrite references to update_plan. After, those mappings are explicit in the Codex host reference.

Verification run:

git diff --check
rg -n "TodoWrite|tool_search|spawn_agent|wait_agent|close_agent|update_plan" skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-tools.md

Rigor

  • Scoped the change to the existing Codex platform reference
  • Checked open PRs for duplicate Codex host-adapter wording work
  • Ran whitespace validation with git diff --check
