Delegate coding work to Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode as background workers

coding-agent is an agent skill from the OpenClaw project, listed on skills.sh. It lets an OpenClaw agent hand bigger coding jobs to Codex, Claude Code or OpenCode running as background workers: feature builds, pull request reviews, large refactors and issue-to-PR loops. It sets hard rules on when not to use it, such as simple edits, read-only lookups, or anything inside OpenClaw's own state folders. Like every skill, it is a SKILL.md file of instructions the agent reads when the task calls for it, so the agent knows which commands to run and what to avoid. It is free and open source in the openclaw/openclaw repository on GitHub.
