execute-codex

execute-codex is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ching-kuo/claude-codex. It costs 73 tokens per session (2,741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that routes coding tasks by size: smaller changes go to Claude, larger changes go to Codex, and a code-review agent checks the result. A plan is a written description of the work and its implementation steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Execute a written plan or direct implementation request, choose an agent based on task complexity, and run tests, linting, or other checks before delivery.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to decide manually which coding agent should handle a task while retaining a review step.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Codex.

Good fit Execute a written plan or direct implementation request, choose an agent based on task complexity, and run tests, linting, or other checks before delivery.

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

execute-codex 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 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.

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 opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 204 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Execute-Codex — Smart Routing: Claude (small) / Codex (large)

Input

The user's message after the trigger is either:

  1. A file path to a plan (e.g. .claude/plan/feature.md) — read it and extract task description, implementation steps, key files
  2. A direct task description — use as-is

Confirm with user before proceeding if key context is missing.

Model Recommendation

Works with claude-sonnet-4-6 (default). No model override needed — routing handles complexity automatically.

Tool Requirements

Advisory checklist — ensure these tools are available:

  • AskUserQuestion — confirm missing context
  • mcp__codex__codex and mcp__codex__codex-reply — Codex implementation (Route B)
  • Task — dispatch subagents
  • Read, Glob, Grep — context retrieval
  • Write, Edit — Claude implementation (Route A)
  • Bash — run lint/tests/git commands

Core Protocols

  • Code Sovereignty: Claude is the final authority — review and approve all changes before delivery
  • Stop-Loss: Do not proceed to next phase until current phase output is validated
  • Language: Use English when calling tools/models; communicate with user in their language
  • Context Sanitization: Never pass .env, secrets, tokens, API keys, or credentials to any external agent or MCP. Exclude files matching .env*, *secret*, *credential*, *.pem, *.key. Redact inline secrets before sending.

Execution Workflow

Phase 0: Read Plan

  1. If argument is a file path, read it and extract: task description, implementation steps, key files
  2. If no plan file, use the argument as the task description directly
  3. Confirm with user before proceeding if key context is missing

Phase 1: Context Retrieval

Read key files using Read, Glob, Grep. Confirm complete context before proceeding.

Phase 2: Route by Change Size

Classify the task before doing any implementation:

Small change — ALL of the following must be true:

  • Touches ≤ 2 files
  • Estimated diff ≤ 30 lines
  • No new abstractions, modules, or significant logic (e.g. config edits, wording fixes, minor additions, single-function tweaks)

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.
