bidirectional-bridge-claude-codex: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/using-bridge/SKILL.md

using-bridge is a skill for Codex from grizzly2005/bidirectional-bridge-claude-codex. It costs 81 tokens per session (3,757 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bridge for coordinating Claude Code and Codex through a repository-local MCP service. It supports bounded delegation, independent review, recovery of interrupted work, and event observation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate an independent subtask, request a second review, resume a stranded task, or inspect bridge activity when that coordination is needed.
Why use it?
It allows another coding-agent runtime to handle a clearly defined part of substantial implementation, diagnosis, review, or recovery work.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is grizzly2005/bidirectional-bridge-claude-codex's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on bidirectional-bridge-claude-codex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything bidirectional-bridge-claude-codex configures →

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

using-bridge 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 18d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use the Bridge

Use the bridge as a coordination layer, not as a reason to involve another agent. Keep the current native client responsible for the user request; delegate only a bounded subtask whose expected value exceeds startup, context, and verification overhead.

Choose the path

skills/using-bridge/ is the versioned source. Generate the client mirrors with node scripts/sync-bridge-skill.mjs --write; check them with --check. Edit the source rather than a client mirror.

  • Delegate: assign one independent, verifiable subtask to the other runtime.
  • Review: ask the other runtime for a bounded, usually read-only, independent review.
  • Recover: resume one known stranded task in place after quota, timeout, crash, or process interruption.
  • Observe: inspect telemetry or events only when the user requests them, during dogfooding, or for diagnosis.
  • Track visually: on a request such as “active le suivi de délégation”, open the opt-in view before a blocking delegation; read tracking-ui.md.
  • Do not use the bridge: complete trivial, tightly coupled, or cheaper single-agent work locally.

If native bridge tools are absent, report that limitation and use read-only offline sources for observation when useful. Configuration files and an offline review do not prove a live bridge delegation. Do not replace missing MCP access with a direct worker CLI call.

If this session is already a delegated worker with a supplied task_id, scope, expected deliverable, and verification criteria, complete that contract. Do not create a new root or delegate again unless the contract explicitly permits it.

Tracking does not create a task, confer manager authority, or trigger another model. Keep UI polling in the widget, never in repeated model turns. Closing or disabling the view leaves workers running; cancellation remains a separate explicit request.

Decide whether to delegate

Delegate only when all are true:

  1. The child task is independently understandable from a compact contract.
  2. Its write scope is disjoint, or it is read-only.
  3. Its output and verification criteria are explicit.
  4. The other runtime adds distinct implementation, diagnosis, review, or research value.
  5. The manager can consume and verify the result without prolonged back-and-forth.

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.

using-bridge is a skill published in the GitHub repository grizzly2005/bidirectional-bridge-claude-codex (1 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 3,757 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
