Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00037 | $0.03504 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.01402 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00701 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00350 |
Grade A, and why
knowledge-harvest 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 2mo 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 — 367 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Knowledge Harvest
Apply this skill only to an explicitly selected harvest or harvest-refresh route. Ordinary product work does not implicitly authorize a census or broad documentation rewrite.
Build a durable functional map of the repository, not a task journal or recent commit summary. Documentation should let a new engineer discover each in-scope capability, its owning code, runtime behavior, and verification or operating path.
Harvest workers load this complete skill through standard Codex skill loading, including its feature-census guidance below. Its inventory, coverage, page-content and validation rules apply before census/planning work. Exact advertised SKILL.md and needed declared Markdown reference reads are allowed; plugin implementation and TOML inspection are not. The coordinator receives concise report previews; it does not open project indexes.
Every repository read, project analysis, documentation change, command and completeness check is worker-owned. The coordinator reads previews, the current pipeline and the bounded evidence pages needed for its decision, then chooses bounded assignments. Graph/search, index routing and repository enumeration below are worker instructions.
Use the orchestrator's index-driven documentation routing instructions for every harvest worker. A missing or unreadable project knowledge index justifies a bounded census delegation and never coordinator source inspection. A worker's evidence that supplied documentation is stale, conflicting, or incomplete drives only task-relevant corrective ownership; it does not by itself widen the harvest scope.
Modes
- Harvest: Maintain a complete baseline. If no current source-backed coverage manifest establishes that the feature registry covers the repository, perform a full census. With a credible baseline, inspect changed and impacted surfaces and reconcile them against the complete inventory.
- Harvest refresh: Rebuild the inventory from current source without trusting prior coverage claims, audit every project and feature document, and run an independent post-write completeness review. Finish only when a second planning comparison proposes no factual changes or new feature page.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

knowledge-harvest is a skill published in the GitHub repository igovet/codex-cortex-orchestrator (2 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 3,504 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 2026-08-31.
