ras-commander: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/dev_invoke_codex-cli/SKILL.md

dev_invoke_codex-cli is a skill for Claude Code from gpt-cmdr/ras-commander. It costs 144 tokens per session (1,779 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff process for delegating coding work to the OpenAI Codex command-line tool. Instructions are placed in a Markdown file, and the tool writes its results to another file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate implementation, refactoring, or code-generation tasks that need extended analysis, then review the deliverables written to the output file.
Why use it?
It gives longer implementation or refactoring tasks a clear input and output path. This also reduces problems caused by passing complex instructions directly through a shell.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Memory Poisoning · line 119
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 107
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

dev_invoke_codex-cli 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.

Invoking Codex CLI

Claude-only orchestration skill. This skill exists to let Claude delegate out to Codex CLI. It is excluded from any future shared multi-harness skill corpus.

Delegate tasks to Codex CLI using markdown files for instruction input and deliverable output. Write instructions to TASK.md, invoke Codex, then read OUTPUT.md for results.

Pattern: Markdown File Handoff

Claude Code                         Codex CLI
    |                                   |
    +-- Write TASK.md ------------------+
    |   (instructions + context)        |
    |                                   |
    +-- Execute: codex e "Read TASK.md, |
    |   follow instructions, write      |
    |   deliverables to OUTPUT.md"      |
    |                                   |
    |                                   +-- Reads TASK.md
    |                                   +-- Executes task
    |                                   +-- Writes OUTPUT.md
    |                                   |
    +-- Read OUTPUT.md <----------------+
    |   (deliverables + results)        |
    v                                   v

Benefits:

  • Eliminates shell escaping issues (quotes, special characters, code blocks)
  • Keeps context structured in reviewable files
  • Enforces explicit deliverable format
  • Supports session resume via thread ID

When to Use

Use this skill for:

  • Complex implementation requiring multi-file changes
  • Refactoring with dependency tracking
  • Code generation with detailed specifications
  • Tasks requiring extended thinking (20-30 minutes)

Model Selection

Model: Always use gpt-5.2-codex (latest model).

Reasoning Effort: Adjust based on task complexity.

Reasoning Effort Use Case Speed
xhigh Default. Complex tasks, deep analysis Slowest, best quality
high Medium complexity, good reasoning Balanced
medium Lighter tasks, adequate reasoning Faster
low Simple tasks, quick response Fastest

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.
