.codex

.codex is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from knitli/toolshed. It costs 0 tokens per session (351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bundled copy of the context-hygiene skill, including its name, description, instructions, and discovery guidance. The skill audits agent context files and checks them against the repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover context files, validate their claims against the codebase, compare instructions across tools, and produce a prioritized fix list.
Why use it?
It gives an agent explicit instructions for finding outdated, broken, contradictory, or incomplete project guidance.

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

.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 1mo 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

Context Hygiene Skill

name

context-hygiene

description

Audit and maintain AI context files across tool ecosystems. Detects stale claims, contradictions between CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/Serena/Cursor/etc., and validates references against the actual codebase.

instructions

When activated, perform a context hygiene audit on the current repository:

1. Discovery

Scan for AI context files across all known tool ecosystems: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, .claude/, .gemini/, .codex/, .cursor/, .serena/, .specify/, .roo/, .continue/, claudedocs/, specs/, plans/, docs/, info/, .mcp.json, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, .continuerules, .clinerules, .aider.conf.yml

Report what you find as an inventory grouped by tool.

2. Staleness check

For each memory/instruction file, extract factual claims (paths, versions, symbols, counts, commands, dependencies) and validate them against the actual codebase. Report what's valid, what's stale, what's broken.

3. Drift detection

Compare memory files against each other to find contradictions and gaps. Flag where different tools have divergent views of the same project.

4. Summary

Produce a prioritized list of issues to fix, with specific file paths, line numbers, and recommended corrections.

After code changes

When you make significant changes to file structure, dependencies, versions, or architecture, proactively check whether any context files need updating. The most important files to keep current are the root-level memory files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md).

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.

.codex is a skill published in the GitHub repository knitli/toolshed (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 351 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.
