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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00880 | $0.00880 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00440 | $0.00440 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00176 | $0.00176 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00088 | $0.00088 |
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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/skillsand~/.codex/skills/publicfor subdirectories. - Each directory name becomes a skill entry.
- The UI is a SwiftUI
NavigationSplitViewwith 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 CodexSkillManagerWhen 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 createCodexSkillManager.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_KEYSPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILESPARKLE_FEED_URL
Release flow (commit → changelog → notarize → appcast → GitHub release)
- Update version: bump
MARKETING_VERSIONandBUILD_NUMBERinversion.env. - Build:
swift build. - Commit + push:
git add -Agit commit -m "feat: ..."(or other Conventional Commit type)git push
- Write release notes (short, user-facing bullets) and save to a file, e.g.
/tmp/codexskillmanager-release-notes-<version>.md. - 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_KEYmust be set (andSPARKLE_FEED_URLif non-default) or the build will be missing Sparkle keys and updates will not work.
- 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) forsparkle:version, so it must increase each release. git add appcast.xmlgit commit -m "chore: update sparkle appcast"git push
- 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.

CodexSkillManager AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Dimillian/CodexSkillManager (1,366 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 880 tokens to every session, about $0.0044 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
