CodexHost is a desktop application that lets users run coding-agent harnesses such as Pi and Claude Code inside Codex Desktop. It is for people who want to choose among multiple agents and have them delegate tasks to one another while staying in one workspace.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium MCP Rug Pull · line 134 npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.Fix: Pin the version: npx @scope/[email protected]
- medium Excessive Agency · line 185 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00067 | $0.02939 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.01176 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00588 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00294 |
Grade A, and why
codexhost-update-impact-audit 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 26d 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.

The repository is licensed LGPL-3.0, which this catalogue does not treat as permission to reproduce the file. Read it at the source.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

codexhost-update-impact-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository BytePioneer-AI/codex-host (2,982 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed LGPL-3.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 2,939 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.

performance-optimizer
Agents should invoke this skill for slow code, high CPU/memory, latency, large data processing, algorithmic complexity, profiling plans, benchmarks, or optimization requests. Profiles first and weighs trade-offs before changing code.
network-diagnostics
Agents should invoke this skill for connectivity, DNS, Pi-hole, port reachability, routing, firewall reachability, TLS/network timeouts, or service access failures. Provides structured network troubleshooting commands and interpretation.
refactoring-advisor
Agents should invoke this skill for refactors, code smells, migrations, duplication removal, module splitting, API cleanup, or restructuring plans. Emphasizes small safe steps, behavior preservation, and verification after each change.
bug-reporter
Agents should invoke this skill when defects, regressions, failed tests, unexpected behavior, or spec mismatches are found. Produces structured reproducible bug reports with severity, evidence, environment, and actionable next steps.
bounded-code-repair
Repair one focused, inspectable code behavior with a declared file boundary, actual validation, and a bounded retry count. Do not use for broad feature delivery, architecture decisions, security review, or documentation-only work.
