ask-llm-codex-pair-pause
80 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By Lykhoyda/ask-llm (GitHub) · coding · 20 stars · scanned at commit 66b26a1
Pause codex-pair for this project without removing `.codex-pair/context.md`. Writes the shared `.codex-pair/state/paused` sentinel. Use during noisy refactors, hook dogfooding, or other temporary review pauses.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ask-llm-codex-pair-pause' ~/.claude/skills/'ask-llm-codex-pair-pause' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
