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

endurance-goal 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

endurance-goal

This is the Codex equivalent of Claude Code's /john:endurance command.

When to use

Use this for long John runs that span many iterations, context compactions, or fresh sessions. The goal is stored in .john/workspace.json under session_metadata.endurance_goal.

Procedure

  1. Parse the user's request:

    • goal text: set the endurance goal
    • no arguments: show the current endurance goal
    • --clear: remove the current endurance goal
  2. Resolve the plugin root:

    • In a Codex plugin install, this skill lives under <plugin-root>/skills/endurance-goal/SKILL.md.
    • The script is at <plugin-root>/scripts/set_endurance.py.
    • In a source checkout, use plugins/joharnessburg/scripts/set_endurance.py.
  3. Run the script from the user's project directory:

python3 "<plugin-root>/scripts/set_endurance.py" <goal-text-or---clear>
  1. Report the result:
    • set: confirm the goal is written to .john/workspace.json
    • clear: confirm the goal was removed
    • show: print the current goal or say none is set

In Codex, persistence depends on the project state and any enabled Codex SessionStart hook. If hooks are not enabled, re-read .john/workspace.json and PLAN.md at the start of a resumed run.

Files

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.

Changes

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.
