drzero
Run DrZero autonomous improvement after initializing shared drzero.yml while preserving the @drzero plugin mention
DrZero
Run the default DrZero autonomous improvement workflow. This is the Codex-native
equivalent of the Claude /drzero:drzero command.
First-Run Setup
Before the first autonomous run in a repo, initialize the shared DrZero configuration from chat:
@drzero run drzero-config init for this repo
Then confirm the active config and plugin health:
@drzero drzero-config show
@drzero drzero-config validate
@drzero drzero-ping
This writes ./drzero.yml only when it does not already exist and installs
DrZero support scripts plus bundled agent templates under .codex/otc-awesome-llm.
It does not activate the templates into .codex/agents by default, so the
@drzero plugin mention stays available in the picker. Codex does not create a
separate .codex/drzero-config.json; it reads the same Claude-compatible YAML
file as the Claude DrZero plugin, with this precedence:
./drzero.yml~/.claude/drzero.yml- built-in defaults
Only use the advanced drzero-config init --install-agents path when you
intentionally want direct specialist mentions in addition to the plugin. Those
activated custom-agent aliases use the dr0-* prefix, such as @dr0-devops,
so they do not compete with the @drzero plugin mention.
Defaults
- Iterations:
dr_zero.max_iterationsfromdrzero.yml, defaulting to 3 when initialized bydrzero-config init. - Tasks per iteration:
dr_zero.tasks_per_iterationfromdrzero.yml, defaulting to 3 when initialized bydrzero-config init. - Config source:
./drzero.yml, then~/.claude/drzero.yml, then built-in defaults.
Workflow
- Validate or initialize shared config with
drzero-config. - Start or resume
.codex/drzero-session.json. - Dispatch
drzero-proposerto generate WorkItems. - Score proposals through
drzero-score.py --mode proposer. - Dispatch
drzero-solverto execute approved WorkItems through canonical domain specialists. - Score solver outcomes through
drzero-score.py --mode solver. - Summarize completed, failed, and pending WorkItems.
Example
Use drzero to run one autonomous improvement pass against this repository.
