Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.00859 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00344 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00172 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
codex-audit 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.

Codex Audit Skill
LIBRARY-FIRST PROTOCOL (MANDATORY)
Before writing ANY code, you MUST check:
Step 1: Library Catalog
- Location:
.claude/library/catalog.json - If match >70%: REUSE or ADAPT
Step 2: Patterns Guide
- Location:
.claude/docs/inventories/LIBRARY-PATTERNS-GUIDE.md - If pattern exists: FOLLOW documented approach
Step 3: Existing Projects
- Location:
D:\Projects\* - If found: EXTRACT and adapt
Decision Matrix
| Match | Action |
|---|---|
| Library >90% | REUSE directly |
| Library 70-90% | ADAPT minimally |
| Pattern exists | FOLLOW pattern |
| In project | EXTRACT |
| No match | BUILD (add to library after) |
Purpose
Route auditing and debugging tasks to Codex CLI when:
- Autonomous iteration is needed (test-fix-retest loops)
- Sandboxed execution required for safety
- Rapid prototyping without approval overhead
Unique Capability
What Codex Does Better:
- Fully autonomous execution (no approval needed mid-task)
- Sandboxed isolation (no network, CWD only)
- Iterative debugging loops
- GPT-5-Codex optimized for agentic coding
When to Use
Perfect For:
- Automated test fixing
- Code auditing in isolation
- Rapid prototyping of features
- Refactoring with test verification
- Build failure recovery
- Security scanning in sandbox
Don't Use When:
- Need network access (sandbox disables it)
- Need to access files outside CWD
- Production debugging (use Claude with oversight)
- Complex multi-file coordination
Usage
Basic Audit
/codex-audit "Find and fix all type errors" --context src/
Test Fixing
/codex-audit "Fix failing tests" --context tests/ --max-iterations 10
Prototyping
/codex-audit "Build REST API with CRUD endpoints" --context .
Command Pattern
bash scripts/multi-model/codex-audit.sh "<task>" "<context>" "<task_id>" "<max_iterations>"
Safety Constraints
| Constraint | Value |
|---|---|
| Network | DISABLED |
| File Access | CWD only |
| Isolation | macOS Seatbelt / Docker |
| Max Iterations | 5 (configurable) |
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.

codex-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository DNYoussef/context-cascade (32 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 859 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
