codex-iterative-fix

codex-iterative-fix is a skill for Claude Code from DNYoussef/context-cascade. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,365 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for having Codex repeatedly diagnose problems, change code, and rerun tests until the failures are resolved.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for debugging, refactoring with test checks, fixing failing tests, and addressing CI/CD or build failures.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual trial-and-error involved in fixing multiple test failures, build errors, and continuous-integration problems.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the TodoWrite tool; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./scripts/multi-model/codex-yolo.sh "Fix all failing tests" task-id "." 15 full-auto.

Good fit Use it for debugging, refactoring with test checks, fixing failing tests, and addressing CI/CD or build failures.

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.

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

codex-iterative-fix 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 Iterative Fix 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

Use Codex CLI's autonomous iteration capability to fix failing tests and debug issues until they pass. This skill leverages Codex's strength at long-horizon coding tasks.

When to Use This Skill

  • Multiple tests failing that need iterative fixing
  • Debugging issues requiring trial-and-error
  • Refactoring with test validation
  • CI/CD failures needing automated fixes
  • Build errors requiring multiple attempts

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • Research tasks (use multi-model-discovery)
  • Understanding codebase (use gemini-codebase-onboard)
  • Critical production code (use sandbox mode first)
  • Architecture decisions (use llm-council)

Workflow

Phase 1: Initial Assessment

  1. Identify failing tests/errors
  2. Determine scope of fixes needed
  3. Choose appropriate mode:
    • full-auto: Standard autonomous mode
    • sandbox: For risky changes
    • yolo: When speed is critical

Phase 2: Codex Execution

# Standard iterative fix
./scripts/multi-model/codex-yolo.sh "Fix all failing tests" task-id "." 15 full-auto

# With sandbox protection
./scripts/multi-model/codex-yolo.sh "Fix tests" task-id "." 10 sandbox

# Via delegate.sh
./scripts/multi-model/delegate.sh codex "Fix all failing tests and verify they pass" --full-auto

What ships with it

4 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.

codex-iterative-fix is a skill published in the GitHub repository DNYoussef/context-cascade (32 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,365 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.
