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 | $0.02149 | $0.02149 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01074 | $0.01074 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00430 | $0.00430 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00215 | $0.00215 |
Grade A, and why
codex-sidecar 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 — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Purpose
codex-sidecar は、kitepon.dev の AI 開発基盤群から Codex を sidecar agent
として安全に呼び出すための共通実行レイヤー。
単なる codex review CLI ではなく、Throughline / Caveat / Latticeなどの
現役プロジェクトと接続できる「AI 作業OS」の部品として設計する。Claude Code が主で動く環境に、
Codex の別視点、反対意見、レビュー、調査、限定的な修正能力を差し込む。
同時に、汎用ツールとしても成立させる。設計は「generic core」と 「kitepon.dev ecosystem overlay」の二層に分ける。generic core は他の リポジトリでも単体で使える CLI/MCP/安全実行基盤、overlay はユーザーの MCP/OAuth/hook/memory/cost 系プロジェクトに強く刺さる preset / safety profile / context adapter とする。
重要な前提:
- Claude が主導し、Codex は sidecar / second opinion として呼ばれる。
- 呼び出し元は人間だけでなく、MCP server、hook、memory tool、cost optimizer になり得る。
- 結果は人間向け文章だけでなく、他ツールが再利用できる machine-readable JSON として返す。
- このrepoは単独でinstall、設定、診断、復旧、更新、releaseできる。dotagentsは 公開contractを統合するが、製品内部の状態や運用判断を所有しない。
対象 workflow と MCP tool:
- CLI workflow
review/ MCP toolcodex_review: diff / branch / patch の読み取り専用レビュー - CLI workflow
explore/ MCP toolcodex_explore: コードベース調査とファイル参照つき回答 - CLI workflow
work/ MCP toolcodex_work: isolated git worktree 上での小さな修正 - CLI workflow
opinion/ MCP toolcodex_opinion: 設計案への反対意見、見落とし、代替案の提示 - CLI workflow
risk-check/ MCP toolcodex_risk_check: OAuth / MCP / secrets / Docker / hooks / CI などの重点リスク確認 - CLI workflow
auditor/ MCP toolcodex_auditor: primary tool-use auditor 用のpass/missingTools判定 - CLI workflow
generate/ MCP toolcodex_generate: caller所有schemaによる任意の構造化JSON生成
製品管理用CLIはdiagnostics、factory-diagnostics、factory-errors、
auth-status、auth-recoverと、耐久work用のwork-start / work-result /
work-cancel / work-recover / work-auth-recoverを持つ。現在の全入口は
docs/USAGE.mdを正とする。
非目的:
- 画像生成 API 課金の回避
- Codex App Server を一般 OpenAI API gateway として使うこと
- active working tree を Codex に自由編集させること
- approval prompt や危険操作を隠すこと

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.

codex-sidecar AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository kitepon/codex-sidecar (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,149 tokens to every session, about $0.0107 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
