Codex

A command-line coding agent from OpenAI that helps work with code through a terminal. It supports Agent Skills, a standard way to give coding agents reusable instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work on software projects from the command line, install skills, and configure where skills are stored.
Why use it?
It gives developers a terminal-based way to use an AI coding agent and manage reusable instructions. It also supports custom locations for those instructions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

Codex scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Codex is an agent published in the GitHub repository nevir/agentfill (19 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed BlueOak-1.0.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,291 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
