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-proof 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

Repository instructions

Scope

  • Keep codex-proof dependency-free at runtime.
  • Support Windows, macOS, and Linux with Python 3.11 or newer.
  • Preserve the evidence schema unless a versioned migration is included.
  • Never record environment variables or unredacted credentials in evidence output.

Workflow

  • Inspect existing changes before editing.
  • Add or update tests for behavior changes.
  • Run the Skill validator after changing .agents/skills/codex-proof.
  • Run python -m unittest discover -s tests -v before completion.
  • Exercise the installed console entry point for CLI changes.

Completion

  • Keep structural, test, runtime, behavior, visual, and artifact claims separate.
  • Report exact commands and observable results.
  • Leave failed or pending claims visible.
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.
