Instructions for installing or setting up Inspecto in the current frontend project through its shared onboarding process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run Inspecto onboarding, review proposed changes, choose the correct local development target when needed, and apply the setup.
Why use it?
It keeps setup steps consistent and helps recover from failed onboarding instead of requiring manual project edits.

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

inspecto-onboarding-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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run-inspecto.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Inspecto Onboarding For Codex

Use Inspecto's structured CLI flow instead of hand-editing project files.

Always prefer the single-entry onboarding command over the legacy detect/plan/apply sequence.

When to use

  • The user asks Codex to install or set up Inspecto in the current project.
  • The user wants Codex to explain what Inspecto will change before applying it.
  • The user wants Codex to recover from a failed onboarding attempt.

Workflow

  1. Run ~/.codex/skills/inspecto-onboarding-codex/scripts/run-inspecto.sh onboard --json.
  2. If the result returns status: "needs_target_selection", explain that this step chooses which local development build target should receive the Inspecto plugin and settings. Show the target candidates, ask the user which exact candidate to use, then rerun with --target <candidateId>, preferring the explicit candidateId field. The CLI also accepts a returned configPath as a compatibility fallback. Do not collapse the user's choice back to a package path when the same package has multiple build configs.
  3. If the result returns status: "needs_confirmation", summarize summary.headline, summary.changes, summary.risks, and summary.manualFollowUp, then ask for approval before rerunning with --yes.
  4. If the user explicitly asked to see the plan before any changes, stop after the needs_confirmation summary and wait for approval.
  5. If the result returns status: "partial_success" and diagnostics.nextSteps includes IDE extension installation, treat that as a blocking onboarding follow-up. Do not move on to dev-server validation until the extension is installed automatically or the user confirms they completed the manual install.
  6. When manual IDE extension installation is needed, guide the user with the correct official path:
    • VS Code: code --install-extension inspecto.inspecto
    • VS Code Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=inspecto.inspecto
    • Cursor / VSCodium / other derivatives: https://open-vsx.org/extension/inspecto/inspecto
  7. If the result returns status: "error", summarize diagnostics.errors and diagnostics.nextSteps. Run ~/.codex/skills/inspecto-onboarding-codex/scripts/run-inspecto.sh doctor --json only when explicit recovery diagnostics are still needed.
  8. Only after the IDE extension step is complete, read the onboarding result's verification field.
  9. If verification.available is true and verification.devCommand is present, offer to start that exact command immediately for validation.
  10. Otherwise, use verification.message and tell the user to start their normal dev server command manually.
  11. If the result includes handoff.patches, treat them as the primary source of truth for the remaining work. Apply those patches directly before exploring framework docs or unrelated project files.
  12. Only do broader documentation or repo exploration when a returned patch is clearly insufficient or conflicts with the local project structure.
  13. After validation succeeds, if the onboarding result includes handoff.dailyUsage, use that payload as the post-onboarding runtime handoff:
    • tell the user that browser Annotate mode tasks should now follow handoff.dailyUsage.skill
    • recommend the exact handoff.dailyUsage.prompt
    • if handoff.dailyUsage.requiresMcp is true, say that continuous task pickup still requires separate MCP configuration

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.
