linux-codex-backup

linux-codex-backup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CHENyiru3/AI-Skills-Collections. It costs 63 tokens per session (411 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Linux-specific helper for finding and backing up local Codex chat history or diagnosing backup jobs. It covers Linux paths, SQLite transcript storage, GitHub access, and optional systemd user services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate Linux transcripts, pass the correct Codex and SQLite directories to the exporter, configure or inspect a user-level scheduled job, and verify the pushed backup commit.
Why use it?
Linux installations may store Codex data in configurable locations, and SQLite files can be unsafe to copy while their write-ahead log is active. The helper provides a safer preview-and-sync workflow and checks the intended account and archive.

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

linux-codex-backup 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 yesterday.

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

Linux Codex backup

Use the codex-backup skill and its bundled exporter. Install both skills as sibling directories. Read the Linux setup for the verified yiru-linux baseline, commands, and service constraints; recheck paths on another host.

Honor CODEX_HOME and CODEX_SQLITE_HOME. The exporter also accepts --codex-home and --sqlite-home; pass the latter when config.toml sets sqlite_home, because the exporter does not read that configuration. Read live SQLite databases through the exporter; do not copy database files without their WAL state.

Preview locally, check the intended account and transcript scope, then sync only to the user's authorized private archive. New Linux transcripts have the Linux tag and sync commits carry [Linux]. Keep an existing archive's timezone and fuller transcripts when sharing it with another machine.

Publish backup commits directly to the private archive's default branch and verify the pushed commit. For authorized changes to these skills in AI-Skills-Collections, also commit and push directly to its default branch. That public collection holds skill code and documentation; keep transcripts, profiles, credentials, and archive checkouts outside it.

Use snapshot and sync for manual backups. The shared runner's install action creates a macOS LaunchAgent and cannot install a Linux schedule. Only configure a systemd user service/timer when scheduling is requested; use absolute paths, include the user's GitHub CLI directory in PATH, and verify authentication in the service environment.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
