MailFathom: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/start-task/SKILL.md

start-task is a skill for Codex from Krzysztof318/MailFathom. It costs 26 tokens per session (2,811 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A repository-start workflow for work that may edit files, change dependencies, or need roadmap, documentation, or architecture-decision context. An ADR is a written record of an important technical decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the beginning of substantial repository tasks to inspect the workspace, identify the repository role, read planning context, and report available project-board access.
Why use it?
It checks the repository and project-board context before work begins, including whether the checkout is the main repository or a fork and whether the board can be edited.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Krzysztof318/MailFathom's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on MailFathom 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 MailFathom 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

start-task 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 4d 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 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.
