codex

codex is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lagz0ne/c3-skill. It costs 100 tokens per session (626 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent add-on that lets one OpenAI Codex command-line agent ask another Codex agent for implementation, analysis, or review. The second agent can inspect the same repository and provide an independent opinion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Delegating focused coding tasks, checking a design or code change, verifying claims, and applying a reviewed Codex-generated change.
Why use it?
A separate review can reveal problems or missed details in code, designs, and proposed changes.

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 3d 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

Codex — cross-model delegation

codex (OpenAI Codex CLI, model gpt-5.5, approval_policy = never so it never blocks on prompts) is a second coding agent that reads this repo and reasons over it precisely (verified). Consult it for a different model's perspective — it catches what a single model misses.

When to consult Codex

  • A well-scoped implementation chunk you want a second model to write, or to cross-check your own implementation against.
  • An independent design/diff review — different model, different failure modes caught.
  • Adversarial verification of a claim ("is X actually true in the shipped code?").

How — always non-interactive codex exec

Goal Command
Analyze / review (read-only, safe — the default) codex exec --sandbox read-only "<tight prompt>" 2>/dev/null
Let Codex EDIT files codex exec --sandbox workspace-write "<prompt>" 2>/dev/null
Independent review of the working tree codex review
Apply Codex's last proposed diff codex apply
Cheaper/deeper add -c model_reasoning_effort=low|medium|high|xhigh
Capture output append -o out.txt, or --json for structured events
Continue a session codex exec resume --last "<follow-up>"

Discipline (non-negotiable)

  • Scope tightly + hand it concrete material — point Codex at exact file:line, the locked contract (tasks/v11-locked-contract.md), or the spec. It works best on concrete input, not vague asks.
  • 2>/dev/null to suppress thinking tokens unless you're debugging the run.
  • Verify every workspace-write run with the repo's own gatesgo -C cli build ./..., go -C cli test ./..., c3local check. Codex's edits are a proposal, never ground truth; treat its diff like an untrusted PR.
  • For high-stakes work, run it twice across models — have Codex and a Claude subagent do the same task independently, then reconcile the diff. Cross-model disagreement is signal.
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.
