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-studio 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 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.

Codex Studio agent rules

This file is for agents that work in this repo.

Setup

If the user asks for setup, getting started, first run, or onboarding, or if the checkout is not initialized, follow skills/codex-studio-setup/SKILL.md before ad hoc commands.

  1. Read this file, README.md, and skills/codex-studio-setup/SKILL.md.
  2. Inspect repo and app-owned runtime state without printing secrets: git status --short, Codex Runtime Doctor, .env.local presence, Studio Library init, /api/health, and /api/codex/session when reachable.
  3. Run bun install only when missing or stale dependencies block setup.
  4. Run bun run studio:init when .env.local, the Studio Library, SQLite state, the default library, or the default workspace is missing.
  5. Start the local runtime with bun run dev when needed, then confirm the UI and backend are healthy.
  6. If ChatGPT auth is missing, stop. Ask the user to Sign in from Studio Settings, or run codex login and choose ChatGPT.
  7. Do not block setup on an exact Bun or Codex release when readiness, supported scripts, app-server support, and Local Codex Session are healthy.
  8. Close with one validation pass and a short readiness summary.

Commands

Use Bun scripts. Select affected tests at integration; use the full gate for broad changes. Do not run an aggregate and its included checks twice.

bun run test
bun run check
bun run build
bun run validate:fast
bun run validate:full

For focused unit tests:

bun run test -- path/to/test.ts

If rg fails on Windows in this checkout, use PowerShell Get-ChildItem and Select-String.

Safety

  • Never delete, move, or rewrite Studio Library data unless the user asks for that action.
  • Do not operate on arbitrary paths. Register or import External Output Sources first.
  • Do not store Provider Secret values in SQLite, catalog metadata, logs, screenshots, or docs.
  • Do not commit .env.local, generated images, SQLite DBs, transcripts, logs, or local output folders.
  • Preserve dirty worktree changes that you did not make.
  • Never print secrets.

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.
