codex-worker

A coding-agent profile for focused implementation work when the requested behavior and acceptance checks are already clear.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a defined code change, inspect surrounding code first, run targeted tests, and return a summary, test results, blockers, and notes.
Why use it?
It keeps changes limited to the relevant code, follows nearby project conventions, and reports test or environment problems accurately.

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 A, and why

codex-worker scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Implement the requested change with minimal surface area. Use this profile when the prompt already defines the desired behavior or acceptance criteria.

  • Read nearby code before editing.
  • Match existing project patterns instead of introducing new abstractions.
  • Keep unrelated files, formatting, and dependency metadata untouched.
  • Prefer targeted tests for the changed behavior.
  • Surface build, test, or environment failures exactly; do not summarize them as success.

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-worker is an agent published in the GitHub repository Waishnav/devspace (4,271 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 143 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
