codex-skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

codex-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from CCDawn/codex-skills. It costs 357 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for organizing, publishing, and installing coding-agent skills in a project. A skill is a reusable set of instructions that guides an agent through a type of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding skills to the repository, updating plugin metadata, installing skills locally, or checking slash-command changes.
Why use it?
They reduce mistakes such as missing documentation, inconsistent folder names, duplicate installations, or validating the wrong installed copy.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; reads ~/.codex paths; mentions Codex.

This is CCDawn/codex-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on codex-skills 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 codex-skills configures →

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 CLAUDE.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 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

Skills are organized into bucket folders under skills/:

  • engineering/ - code work and implementation workflows
  • research/ - research planning, evidence synthesis, and paper-readiness workflows

Every skill in engineering/ or research/ must have:

  • a reference in the top-level README.md
  • an entry in .claude-plugin/plugin.json

Published skills in this repository must also follow the live-install rules:

  • the skill folder name must match the name field in SKILL.md
  • the default local install target is ~/.codex/skills/<briefbound-skill-name>
  • use ~/.agents/skills/<briefbound-skill-name> only when you explicitly need an extra local catalog copy
  • installing the same skill into both .codex/skills and .agents/skills can produce duplicate slash-command entries
  • the default install shape is a real directory, not a symlink or junction
  • after updating a skill, validate the installed live Codex copy before treating the change as done
  • after updating install metadata or agents/openai.yaml, inspect the installed live copy and restart Codex before concluding that the slash-command change failed
  • keep agents/openai.yaml aligned with the minimal working shape already used in this repo: an interface: block with a distinctive display_name, short_description, and default_prompt
  • if the current trusted workspace is this repository, remember that .claude-plugin/plugin.json can also influence visible skill entries during slash-command debugging

Each bucket folder should have a README.md that lists every skill in the bucket with a one-line description, and each skill name should link to its SKILL.md.

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.
