codex-docs-drift-scout

codex-docs-drift-scout is a skill for Codex from autoworks-ai/autovault. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An installer and diagnostic tool for the AutoHub docs-drift Codex automation. AutoHub stores signed skill resources and renders machine-specific files that Codex accesses through a symbolic link.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the docs-drift automation into a chosen repository or run `autovault doctor` to audit its rendered setup.
Why use it?
It makes installing this automation an explicit human-controlled action and provides a read-only check for problems in the rendered files or links.

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-docs-drift-scout 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 9d 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 Docs Drift Scout

When To Use

Use this skill to install the AutoHub docs-drift Codex automation. The automation lives as signed AutoVault skill resources (.tpl templates), but Codex reads machine-local rendered files through a symlink.

Install is a deliberate, human-initiated mutation (it renders machine-specific files and plants a symlink under ~/.codex), so it sits behind the requires-tty anti-automation wall. Auditing is read-only and runs non-interactively through autovault doctor — see Audit.

Install

--project-root is required and has no shipped default. Pass the absolute path to the target repository:

autovault skill install-codex codex-docs-drift-scout --project-root /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/autohub

The complete install surface is:

autovault skill install-codex codex-docs-drift-scout --project-root PATH [--automation-id ID] [--replace-existing]

By default, the helper renders beneath ${AUTOVAULT_STORAGE_PATH:-~/.autovault}:

~/.autovault/rendered/codex-automations/docs-drift-scout/automation.toml
~/.autovault/rendered/codex-automations/docs-drift-scout/environment.toml

and exposes the rendered directory beneath ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex} as:

~/.codex/automations/docs-drift-scout

The helper refuses to replace an existing Codex automation path unless the render index proves the symlink is already managed by AutoVault or --replace-existing is passed. Replacement moves the existing path aside with a timestamped .backup.<timestamp> suffix.

Before writing, the helper refuses a corrupt or unsupported existing render index. It renders to temporary files, parses the TOML with python3 + tomllib, then atomically publishes the index and Codex symlink. The machine-local index is ${AUTOVAULT_STORAGE_PATH:-~/.autovault}/render-index.json — the per-bundle record autovault doctor hash-compares against. Python 3.11 or newer is required for the standard-library tomllib parser.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
