codex-skills AGENTS.md

A set of maintenance instructions for the CCDawn/codex-skills repository, which publishes reusable coding-agent skills and slash commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Adding or updating skills, checking for duplicate or missing slash commands, updating repository documentation, and verifying installed copies.
Why use it?
It helps keep skill folders, documentation, installation locations, and command entries consistent when the catalogue changes.

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-skills AGENTS.md 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 2d 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.

AGENTS

This repository publishes local Codex skills. Treat slash-command behavior as a packaging problem first, not as a prompt-writing problem.

Repo rules

  • One skill lives under skills/<bucket>/<briefbound-skill-name>/.
  • The folder name must match the name field in SKILL.md.
  • When the catalog changes, update README.md, README.zh-CN.md, the bucket README.md, and .claude-plugin/plugin.json in the same change.
  • The default install target is ~/.codex/skills/<briefbound-skill-name>.
  • The native Grok target is ~/.grok/skills/<briefbound-skill-name> with global activation in ~/.grok/AGENTS.md.
  • Use ~/.agents/skills/<briefbound-skill-name> only when you explicitly need an extra local catalog copy.
  • Do not rely on symlinks or junctions as the default install shape.

Slash-command lessons learned

  • Do not install the same skill into both .codex/skills and .agents/skills unless the user explicitly wants both copies. Codex can show duplicate slash-command entries when both are present.
  • After changing a skill, inspect the installed live copy under ~/.codex/skills/<briefbound-skill-name>, not just the repo copy. A repo file and the live loaded file can drift.
  • After changing install metadata or agents/openai.yaml, restart Codex and verify the slash-command entry in a fresh thread.
  • Keep agents/openai.yaml aligned with the working pattern already used in this repo: a minimal interface: block with a distinctive display_name, short_description, and default_prompt.
  • If this repository is the active trusted workspace, its .claude-plugin/plugin.json can also influence visible skill entries. When debugging duplicates, check both installed global copies and the repo-local manifest.

Duplicate or missing slash-command checklist

  1. Check the live installed copy in ~/.codex/skills/<briefbound-skill-name>.
  2. Check whether an extra ~/.agents/skills/<briefbound-skill-name> copy exists.
  3. Check agents/openai.yaml for the live copy, not only the repo copy.
  4. Check whether the current workspace is this repo and whether .claude-plugin/plugin.json also exposes the same skill.
  5. Restart Codex before concluding that a metadata change failed.

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.
