What it does
Director Mode Lite rests on directing the agent rather than programming for it. The installer puts a shared guide, skills, adapted agents and hooks into the project and lays them out in the native directories of Claude Code, Codex and Grok: `.claude/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`, `.codex/agents/`, `.grok/agents/`. It adds no new gates or access rules. The operating brief keeps five things visible: outcome, context, constraints, evidence and next decision. The `director-mode` skill starts the process and `session-relay` hands work to another CLI. A handoff builds JSON and Markdown packets with the goal, state, decisions, Git snapshot, verification, blockers and next steps, while native sessions of different CLIs stay separate.
Who it is for. Developers who work with several agent CLIs at once and want to hand tasks between them without losing context.
Good fit when
- You started an auth refactor in Claude Code and want to finish it in Codex.
- You need one short brief that all three CLIs read.
- Work stopped halfway and a handoff packet records decisions and the next step.
- The setup needs a read-only diagnostic check.
Not a fit when
- You need hard gates and protection: the set adds none.
- You work with a single CLI and its own settings are enough.
- The workspace is untrusted: the launcher opens full access.
Example request
Prepare a handoff packet for Codex: goal to finish the token refresh, what is done, decisions made and the next step.Limitations
You need Bash, Git and Python 3.9 or newer; `jq` is only for optional hooks. The `.director-mode/bin/director-open` launcher starts a CLI in full mode with no prompts: Claude with `bypassPermissions`, Codex with `danger-full-access` and approvals disabled, Grok with `always-approve` and the sandbox off. Use it only in a trusted workspace. A session ID from one vendor does not open in another CLI, so handoff goes through a packet. The packet holds text you entered, paths and Git file names: review it before sharing outside.
How to disable. Delete the added `.director-mode/` directory, the skills and agents from `.claude/`, `.agents/`, `.codex/` and `.grok/`, and the lines in `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md`.
FAQ
How do I install Director Mode Lite?
Clone the repository and run `./install.sh --cli all /path/to/your-project`. You can choose one CLI instead of `all`. Then open the project in `claude`, `codex` or `grok`.
How do I hand work to another CLI?
Create a packet with `director-relay create` and flags such as `--from`, `--to`, `--goal`, `--summary` and `--next`. The receiver starts a new native session and reads the packet.
What does the packet capture automatically?
Only Git metadata and diff statistics. It does not read transcripts, file contents, credentials or the environment.
What does director-open do?
It launches the chosen CLI in its native full-access mode with no approvals. Native managed policy can still override the flags.
Which versions were tested?
Version 2.3.0 was verified on Claude Code 2.1.305, Codex CLI 0.163.0, Grok Build 1.0.62 and Gemini CLI 0.60.0.
