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-studio-setup 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex Studio Setup

Use when a user asks to make this repo ready for first run, or when the welcome screen provides a setup handoff prompt.

Objective

Bring a Codex Studio checkout to a runnable local state:

  • dependencies installed and repo scripts runnable
  • .env.local bootstrap present and sane
  • Studio Library initialized outside the repo
  • SQLite migrations, default library, and default workspace created
  • Codex CLI available, app-server-capable, and authenticated with ChatGPT login
  • codex app-server reachable through the backend
  • UI and backend start cleanly
  • closeout checks run once

Onboarding loop

Copy prompt and Ask Codex on the welcome surface use this skill as the Setup Prompt (CODEX_STUDIO_SETUP_SKILL_PATH in lib/onboardingSetupPrompt.ts). Keep that ownership. Do not move the prompt body into the renderer.

The product loop is detect, consent, mutate, stream, re-validate. One primary CTA:

  1. Missing Bun: open https://bun.sh/docs/installation. Never silent-install Bun.
  2. Missing Codex CLI: open https://github.com/openai/codex. Never silent-install Codex.
  3. ChatGPT login missing: Sign in from Studio Settings, or stop and ask the user to run codex login and choose ChatGPT. Login is not bundled.
  4. Studio Library or Bootstrap Configuration missing: in-app Setup, or bun run studio:onboard --setup, after explicit consent.
  5. Everything else ready except Codex Product Runtime: start app-server through the local backend.
  6. Ready: Open Studio.

Ask Codex is an extra path when Codex CLI exists. Grok Imagine is an optional provider row, never a Studio installer.

Default Studio Library is a folder named Codex Studio in the user home. Existing STUDIO_LIBRARY_DIR is kept. Do not auto-migrate AI-Studio-Library. Preferred Output Path is not the generate destination. New generations go under outputs/<workspace>/ inside the Studio Library.

Safety

  • Preserve dirty worktree changes you did not make.
  • Never commit or print Provider Secret values.
  • Do not store Provider Secrets in SQLite, catalog metadata, logs, screenshots, docs, or committed files.
  • Do not delete, move, compact, or rewrite Studio Library data unless the user explicitly confirms that destructive operation.
  • Keep generated images, SQLite files, transcripts, logs, local outputs, and .env.local uncommitted.
  • Use apply_patch for manual repo edits.
  • Run broad gates only at closeout unless a focused failure requires a small targeted check.

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.
