compound-engineering: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/sync-codex-workflows.md

sync-codex-workflows is a command for Claude Code from Jerrylalala/compound-engineering. It costs 19 tokens per session (266 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for updating exactly three Codex workflow skills in a private fork: brainstorming, planning, and review. It runs the repository's sync script and checks that those entries exist in the Codex skills directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing the repository's workflow skills so the local Codex installation receives those updates.
Why use it?
It keeps the selected workflow skills current without installing the entire converted plugin and its unrelated entries.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads ~/.codex paths; mentions Codex.

This is Jerrylalala/compound-engineering's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on compound-engineering itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything compound-engineering configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bun run src/index.ts install ./plugins/compound-engineering --to codex.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to Jerrylalala/compound-engineering. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

sync-codex-workflows 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 1mo ago.

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

/sync-codex-workflows

Use this command when you need to update Codex after changing the repository's Codex workflow skills.

Purpose

This repository only wants these three workflow skills synced into Codex:

  • workflows-brainstorm
  • workflows-plan
  • workflows-review

Do not install the full converted plugin into Codex for day-to-day sync.

Execute

Run exactly:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/sync-codex-workflows.ps1

Verify

After syncing, check that ~/.codex/skills/ contains the updated workflow entrypoints for this repository:

  • workflows-brainstorm
  • workflows-plan
  • workflows-review

Other user-installed global Codex skills may still exist. The sync script removes known stale workflow duplicates, not arbitrary user skills.

Hard Guardrail

Never replace this command with:

bun run src/index.ts install ./plugins/compound-engineering --to codex

That command installs the full converted plugin and will pollute ~/.codex with extra workflow entries.

Changes

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.
