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 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.

What it actually says

/codex — DEPRECATED

This skill was renamed to /second-opinion in v0.4.x (FORGE-89, P2-T21).

The new name is host-agnostic. /codex was misleading because forge can dispatch second-opinion review to Claude, Codex, or Gemini depending on settings.agents.review_host_cli (FORGE-224 added Claude as a review host via claude -p). The skill behavior, prompt construction, and verdict shape are unchanged — only the canonical name moved.

What to do

Invoke /second-opinion with the same prompt you would have given /codex. The skill body, prompt-construction guidance, evaluation discipline, and integration with /ship and /review are all preserved under the new name.

Removal

This alias is removed in v0.5.0. Update any hooks, scripts, or documentation that reference /codex to use /second-opinion before upgrading.

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.
