CodexSkillManager AGENTS.md

Project instructions for CodexSkillManager, a small macOS app that lists installed Codex skills. It explains the app's SwiftUI interface, folder scanning, build commands, and release packaging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing, building, running, packaging, signing, notarizing, or releasing CodexSkillManager.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project facts and required checks so changes can be built and packaged consistently.

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

CodexSkillManager 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 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.

CodexSkillManager

What this app is

CodexSkillManager is a small macOS SwiftUI app built with SwiftPM (no Xcode project) that lists the Codex skills installed in the user's public skills folder.

How it works

  • The app scans ~/.codex/skills and ~/.codex/skills/public for subdirectories.
  • Each directory name becomes a skill entry.
  • The UI is a SwiftUI NavigationSplitView with a list on the left and a detail view on the right.
  • The detail view shows the skill name and its full path.

Build and run

  • Build: swift build
  • Run: swift run CodexSkillManager When editing this app, build after each change and fix any compile errors before continuing.

Packaging and release

Use the macos-spm-app-packaging skill for packaging, notarization, appcast, and GitHub release steps. Local packaging helpers live in Scripts/:

  • Scripts/compile_and_run.sh: package (adhoc sign) + launch the .app.
  • Scripts/package_app.sh: build and create CodexSkillManager.app.
  • Scripts/sign-and-notarize.sh: sign + notarize for releases.
  • Scripts/make_appcast.sh: generate Sparkle appcast from a zip.
  • Scripts/generate_sparkle_keys.sh: generate Sparkle keypair and export private key.

Sparkle env vars (set in ~/.zshrc):

  • SPARKLE_PUBLIC_KEY
  • SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE
  • SPARKLE_FEED_URL

Release flow (commit → changelog → notarize → appcast → GitHub release)

  1. Update version: bump MARKETING_VERSION and BUILD_NUMBER in version.env.
  2. Build: swift build.
  3. Commit + push:
    • git add -A
    • git commit -m "feat: ..." (or other Conventional Commit type)
    • git push
  4. Write release notes (short, user-facing bullets) and save to a file, e.g. /tmp/codexskillmanager-release-notes-<version>.md.
  5. Notarize and package:
    • APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_P8="/path/to/key.p8" APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID="..." APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID="..." APP_IDENTITY="Developer ID Application: ..."
    • ./Scripts/sign-and-notarize.sh
    • Note: SPARKLE_PUBLIC_KEY must be set (and SPARKLE_FEED_URL if non-default) or the build will be missing Sparkle keys and updates will not work.
  6. Generate Sparkle appcast entry:
    • SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE="..." ./Scripts/make_appcast.sh CodexSkillManager-<version>.zip https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dimillian/CodexSkillManager/main/appcast.xml
    • Note: Sparkle uses the build number (BUILD_NUMBER) for sparkle:version, so it must increase each release.
    • git add appcast.xml
    • git commit -m "chore: update sparkle appcast"
    • git push
  7. Publish GitHub release (creates the tag):
    • gh release create v<version> CodexSkillManager-<version>.zip appcast.xml --title "Codex Skill Manager <version>" --notes-file /tmp/codexskillmanager-release-notes-<version>.md

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.
