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.

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 | $0.04776 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.01910 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00955 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00478 |
Grade A, and why
openspec-explore 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 13d 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 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.

openspec-explore 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 4,776 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 2026-10-14.
Other skills, from other repositories
record-and-replay
Use when the user wants Codex to record a Linux desktop or browser workflow and turn it into a reusable skill. Requires the Record & Replay event-stream MCP server.
manage-taskboard
Manage Codex Taskboard issues and taskctl setup when the request names Codex Taskboard, e-taskboard, or taskctl, or the conversation already establishes that board as the target. Not for GitHub, Phabricator, other external trackers, or unrelated product docs.
chronicle-skysight
Use when recent Linux desktop activity memory would help answer a question or when the user asks to inspect or control Chronicle or Skysight.
dg-piagent
A development guide for the pi-agent software kit, used to build and customize coding agents. It covers agents, tools, prompts, sessions, models, authentication, and connected files.
agent-workspace-linux
Use when a task needs an isolated hidden Linux desktop or workspace-owned browser: GUI app QA, web/browser/shopping automation, sandboxed app observation, or stale workspace cleanup. Routes agent-workspace-linux MCP tools on demand. Does NOT apply to host desktop/Chrome control, generic MCP setup, or pure code/file…
prose-review
Review prose written for others (e.g., user-facing documentation, prompts for other LLMs, reports, plans, inline comments, docstrings) for local jargon leakage, orphaned references, missing grounding, and audience or genre mismatch. Always run on prose you produce or materially edit, except for routine conversational…
