mantishack: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/test-tui/SKILL.md

test-tui is a skill for Codex from deonmenezes/mantishack. It costs 13 tokens per session (127 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of test-tui, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for testing Codex's text-based user interface, including how to start it, send input, and collect detailed logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch the Codex TUI with trace logging, direct its logs to a chosen temporary directory, and send test messages in the required input sequence.
Why use it?
It makes interactive tests repeatable and helps capture enough diagnostic information when the interface behaves unexpectedly.

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

test-tui 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 8d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to test-tui — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You can start and use Codex TUI to verify changes.

Important notes:

Start interactively. Always set RUST_LOG="trace" when starting the process. Pass -c log_dir=<some_temp_dir> argument to have logs written to a specific directory to help with debugging. When sending a test message programmatically, send text first, then send Enter in a separate write (do not send text + Enter in one burst). Use just codex target to run - just codex -c ...

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.
