oh-my-codex: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/deepsearch/SKILL.md

deepsearch is a skill for Codex from junghwaYang/oh-my-codex. It costs 0 tokens per session (498 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for exploring and understanding unfamiliar codebases in depth. It supports tracing data flow, mapping dependencies, and finding implementations through structural, meaning-based, and pattern searches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for onboarding, locating related code, tracing calls from inputs to outputs, and investigating duplication, unused exports, or circular dependencies.
Why use it?
It reduces the time needed to learn where code lives, how parts connect, and where a particular behavior is handled.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: installed under .codex/.

This is junghwaYang/oh-my-codex's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on oh-my-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 oh-my-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

deepsearch 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.

Deepsearch Skill

Deep codebase exploration and understanding.

When to Use

  • Understanding unfamiliar codebases
  • Finding specific implementations
  • Tracing data flow
  • Mapping dependencies
  • Onboarding to projects

When NOT to Use

  • When you already know the location
  • Simple file lookups

Search Capabilities

Structural Search

Find all:
- Components that use a specific hook
- Functions that call an API
- Classes that implement an interface
- Files that import a module

Semantic Search

Find code that:
- Handles authentication
- Processes payments
- Validates user input
- Manages state

Pattern Search

Find patterns:
- N+1 query potential
- Unused exports
- Circular dependencies
- Code duplication

Exploration Strategies

Top-Down

Entry point → Main modules → Sub-modules → Details

Bottom-Up

Specific function → Callers → Higher-level usage

Data Flow

Input → Transformations → Output

Dependency Graph

Module → Imports → Transitive dependencies

Output Format

## Codebase Analysis: {scope}

### Structure Overview

src/ ├── components/ # React components ├── hooks/ # Custom hooks ├── services/ # API services ├── utils/ # Utilities └── types/ # TypeScript types


### Key Files
| File | Purpose | Dependencies |
|------|---------|--------------|
| auth.ts | Authentication | api, storage |
| api.ts | HTTP client | axios |

### Data Flow
User Input → Validation → API Call → State Update → UI Render

### Findings
1. {finding 1}
2. {finding 2}

### Recommendations
- {recommendation}

Usage

deepsearch: how does authentication work in this codebase

deepsearch: find all places that handle payment processing

deepsearch: map the data flow for user registration

Tips

  1. Start broad, narrow down - Overview first, then details
  2. Follow the data - Trace from input to output
  3. Check tests - Tests reveal expected behavior
  4. Read types first - TypeScript types document structure

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.

deepsearch is a skill published in the GitHub repository junghwaYang/oh-my-codex (5 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 498 tokens. 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.
