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

vibe-codex 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 2mo 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

vibe-codex (Codex CLI)

This repo is Codex-first and keeps distributable skill sources under skills.

Repo conventions

  • Keep scripts/*.sh and scripts/*.ps1 feature-parity (same subcommands + flags).
  • Skills live in skills/<skill>/SKILL.md (+ optional agents/openai.yaml UI metadata + dependency hints; optional legacy SKILL.json). Tip: keep agents/openai.yaml JSON-formatted (JSON ⊂ YAML) so doctor scripts can validate without extra deps.
  • Current OpenAI documentation lists .agents/skills for local discovery. New installs should target .agents/skills via --agents; the root skills directory also supports plugin packaging.
  • For SKILL.md YAML frontmatter, keep name ≤ 64, description ≤ 1024, and metadata.short-description ≤ 1024.
  • When changing skills, keep SKILL.md ↔ agents/openai.yaml (and SKILL.json if present) aligned and run bash scripts/doctor.sh.
  • Avoid creating backup folders inside any skills directory (Codex loads skills recursively and backups can become duplicate skills).
  • Do not describe vc teams as Codex-native. It is a persistent mailbox companion; built-in Codex subagents perform actual in-session delegation.
  • Do not add guaranteed-success, infinite-retry, or never-ask instructions. Use bounded recovery and truthful blockers.

OpenAI docs

  • Prefer the OpenAI Developer Docs MCP server when you need up-to-date OpenAI/Codex/API info.
    • Setup: vc mcp docs (or codex mcp add openaiDeveloperDocs --url https://developers.openai.com/mcp)

Handy commands

  • Diagnose: bash scripts/doctor.sh (or pwsh scripts/doctor.ps1)
  • Install skills: bash scripts/install-skills.sh [--agents] (or pwsh scripts/install-skills.ps1 [--agents])
  • MCP helpers: vc mcp docs, vc mcp skills, vc mcp list
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.
