turn-closeout

turn-closeout is a skill for Codex from dirtybits/agent-skills. It costs 76 tokens per session (513 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A closeout guide for ending substantial coding-agent work with the result, verification status, and useful next choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation, debugging, research, planning, reviews, or publishing to report tests and artifacts, note skipped checks, and suggest numbered follow-up actions.
Why use it?
It prevents handoffs from ending without clear evidence of what happened, what was checked, or what should happen next.

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

turn-closeout 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 5d 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 it actually says

Turn Closeout

Use this skill to make final responses feel complete but still alive with momentum. The closeout should tell the user what happened, how it was verified, and what Codex recommends doing next.

Closeout Workflow

  1. Lead with the actual outcome in plain language.
  2. Include concrete proof when available: tests run, commands passed, links, IDs, artifacts, logs, or behavioral checks.
  3. Mention skipped or failed verification directly when it matters.
  4. Recommend only useful next steps that naturally follow from the work. Prefer 1-3 options; use more only when the user has a real branching decision.
  5. End with an explicit offer to continue: "Would you like me to proceed with 1, 2, or 3?"

Numbered Options

Make options short and action-shaped:

Recommended next steps:
1. Run the production build.
2. Open a quick browser verification pass.
3. Commit and publish the branch.

Would you like me to proceed with 1, 2, or 3?

For one clear follow-up, use a single option:

Recommended next step:
1. Run the targeted regression test now.

Would you like me to proceed with 1?

Skip Conditions

Skip the numbered closeout when:

  • The user asked a tiny factual question.
  • The final answer is already a direct command output or short status update.
  • The user explicitly asked not to continue or not to suggest follow-ups.
  • There is no meaningful next action.

Style

Keep the closeout concise. Do not bury the result under process notes. Do not invent verification. Do not recommend generic chores unless they are genuinely relevant to the user's goal.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
