Description
Problem
The current commands are all single-shot: review, adversarial-review, rescue. There's no way to have an ongoing conversation with Codex about a topic -- exploring a design, asking follow-up questions, iterating on an approach -- while maintaining context across turns.
The plugin already has thread management infrastructure (thread/start, thread/resume). Exposing this as a user-facing command would unlock conversational use cases.
Proposal
Add /codex:consult [topic] command:
- Starts a new Codex thread scoped to the current repo
- Subsequent
/codex:consult [follow-up]resumes the same thread --freshflag starts a new thread (discards previous context)- Session mapping persisted per-repo so threads survive across commands
- No structured verdict required -- response presented verbatim
Use cases:
- "How does the auth middleware work in this repo?" -> follow-up: "What would break if we replaced it with JWT?"
- Iterating on a design: ask, get feedback, refine, ask again
- Exploring unfamiliar code with a knowledgeable companion
Implementation notes
The broker already supports thread/start and thread/resume. This would be a new command definition + prompt template + session state tracking (repo path -> thread ID mapping).

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing command definitions and the broker's thread/start and thread/resume entry points. Then inspect how prompt templates and repo-scoped state are handled. Done means /codex:consult supports new and follow-up prompts, --fresh resets the session, and the thread mapping persists per repository.
