codex-harness: Skill for Claude Code

.codex/skills/_archived/codex-setup/SKILL.md

codex-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Chachamaru127/codex-harness. It costs 71 tokens per session (586 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A setup skill for making a project compatible with the Codex command-line tool. It adds or updates Codex skills, rules, an `AGENTS.md` instructions file, and optionally an MCP configuration template.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for installing or updating Codex CLI project configuration, with optional MCP setup.
Why use it?
A project may lack the files that tell Codex how to work with it. This setup creates those files and checks that the expected configuration is present.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: allowed-tools in frontmatter, but also installed under .codex/. Also seen: reads ~/.codex paths; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is Chachamaru127/codex-harness's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on codex-harness 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 codex-harness configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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 B, and why

codex-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

  3. Run setup script
  4. Verify files exist
  5. Report completion + next steps

Script Execution

Prefer running from plugin root:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-setup-local.sh" --skip-mcp

If CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is unavailable, run from plugin repo root:

bash ./scripts/codex-setup-local.sh --skip-mcp

Verification

ls -la .codex/skills
ls -la .codex/rules
ls -la AGENTS.md

Completion Message

Codex CLI setup complete.

  • .codex/skills/ / .codex/rules/ installed
  • AGENTS.md updated (backup created if existed)
  • Use $plan-with-agent, $work, $harness-review in Codex

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.
