How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Long-running Codex tasks (#7287)
Two OmniRoute defaults silently break multi-hour Codex sessions. Document them whenever configuring Codex for overnight / multi-hour work. Full guide: `docs/guides/CODEX-CLI-CONFIGURATION.md` → **Long-running tasks**.
Session affinity (default off)
- Setting: `sessionAffinityTtlMs` (ms; UI shows **Affinity TTL (seconds)** under Dashboard → Settings → Routing → Session affinity). Legacy alias: `codexSessionAffinityTtlMs`.
- Default `0` = disabled. Each turn can land on a different account and break prompt-cache / session continuity.
- Codex session keys (`x-codex-session-id`, `x-session-id`, `x-omniroute-session`, body `prompt_cache_key` / `session_id`) are only used for pinning when TTL > 0.
- Max: `86400` seconds / `86400000` ms (24h). Set TTL **above** the expected task length (e.g. `43200` s for ~12h).
Stream idle timeout (default 10 minutes)
- Env: `STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS` (default `600000`). Also consider `FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS` (same baseline; `0` disables).
- Synthetic SSE heartbeats do **not** reset the idle clock — only real upstream chunks do.
- A quiet reasoning turn past the idle window is force-closed (`stream_idle_timeout` / `StreamIdleTimeoutError`). Grep logs for `Idle timeout: no data from`.
Recommended multi-hour recipe
1. Dashboard → Settings → Routing → Session affinity → Affinity TTL = `43200` (12h) or `86400` (24h max). 2. OmniRoute environment:
STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS=0
FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS=0
3. Restart OmniRoute. Leave Codex `config.toml` as usual (`wire_api = "responses"`, correct `base_url`).
Defaults decision
Do **not** flip ship defaults in code for this skill: `sessionAffinityTtlMs` stays `0` and `STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS` stays `600000`. Long-running operators must opt in. See Discussion #5718 and issue #7287. <!-- skill:custom-end -->
