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 | $0.00037 | $0.07380 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.03690 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.01476 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00738 |
Grade B, and why
ce:work-beta scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
If any setting has an unrecognized value, fall through to the hard default for that setting. For optional settings without a hard default (`work_delegate_model`, `work_delegate_effort`), an unrecognized or unparseable va How it starts

Work Execution Command
Execute work efficiently while maintaining quality and finishing features.
Introduction
This command takes a work document (plan or specification) or a bare prompt describing the work, and executes it systematically. The focus is on shipping complete features by understanding requirements quickly, following existing patterns, and maintaining quality throughout.
Beta rollout note: Invoke ce-work-beta manually when you want to trial Codex delegation. During the beta period, planning and workflow handoffs remain pointed at stable ce-work to avoid dual-path orchestration complexity.
Input Document
<input_document> #$ARGUMENTS </input_document>
Argument Parsing
Parse $ARGUMENTS for the following optional tokens. Strip each recognized token before interpreting the remainder as the plan file path or bare prompt.
| Token | Example | Effect |
|---|---|---|
delegate:codex |
delegate:codex |
Activate Codex delegation mode for plan execution |
delegate:local |
delegate:local |
Deactivate delegation even if enabled in config |
All tokens are optional. When absent, fall back to the resolution chain below.
Fuzzy activation: Also recognize imperative delegation-intent phrases such as "use codex", "delegate to codex", "codex mode", or "delegate mode" as equivalent to delegate:codex. A bare mention of "codex" in a prompt (e.g., "fix codex converter bugs") must NOT activate delegation -- only clear delegation intent triggers it.
Fuzzy deactivation: Also recognize phrases such as "no codex", "local mode", "standard mode" as equivalent to delegate:local.
Settings Resolution Chain
After extracting tokens from arguments, resolve the delegation state using this precedence chain:
- Argument flag --
delegate:codexordelegate:localfrom the current invocation (highest priority) - Config file -- extract settings from the config block below. Value
codexforwork_delegateactivates delegation;falsedeactivates. - Hard default --
false(delegation off)
What ships with it
3 files 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.

ce:work-beta is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jerrylalala/compound-engineering (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 7,380 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
