claude-tmux-bridge: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

claude-tmux-bridge AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from PiMPStudios/claude-tmux-bridge. It costs 1,002 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using an MCP server that connects Codex Desktop to an interactive Codex session in a named tmux pane. Codex Desktop is the desktop application, and tmux keeps terminal sessions running in panes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps Codex Desktop delegate coding, file editing, command-line, Git, and other tool-based tasks to Codex, with options to clear or summarize previous context.
Why use it?
It explains when to send work to the Codex session and which project path and request settings are required.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is PiMPStudios/claude-tmux-bridge's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on claude-tmux-bridge itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claude-tmux-bridge configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/you/my-project.

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

claude-tmux-bridge 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 MCP — tmux Bridge

What This Is

This is an MCP server that connects Codex Desktop to an interactive Codex session running in a named tmux pane. It delivers prompts from Desktop to Code and returns the response — maintaining full conversation history and tool access between calls.

How to Use This Tool (for Codex Desktop)

This server exposes one tool: Codex.

When to use it

Use Codex whenever the user wants Codex to execute a task — writing code, editing files, running commands, working with git, or using any tools Codex has access to (MCP tools, bash, file system, etc.).

Required parameters

  • prompt — the full task description to send to Codex
  • workFolder — absolute path to the user's project directory (determines which tmux session to target)

Optional parameters

  • timeout — max seconds to wait for a response (default: 300)
  • clearContext — send /clear before the prompt; wipes conversation history entirely. Fast (< 1s).
  • compact — send /compact before the prompt; summarises history via the Codex API, keeping key context while freeing space. Slower (30–60s). Takes precedence over clearContext if both are set.

When to use clearContext

Use clearContext: true when:

  • Starting a completely new feature, system, or unrelated task
  • Beginning a fresh work session on a project you've worked on before
  • Codex warns that the context window is getting large
  • The previous task is fully done and the next task has no dependency on it

When to use compact

Use compact: true when:

  • Context is growing large but the conversation history is still relevant
  • You're mid-task and want to keep continuity without hitting context limits
  • Codex's responses are getting slower or less accurate due to context size

How to write a good prompt for Codex

  • Be explicit and step-by-step for complex tasks
  • Include relevant file names, function names, or error messages
  • Reference what was previously done if continuing a task
  • Codex retains full conversation history — you don't need to re-explain the whole project each time, just what's new
  • Never re-paste the full GDD or project context on every call — Code already has it

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.
