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

review-with-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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

review-with-codex

Send a diff to OpenAI's Codex CLI for a second-opinion review, then relay findings.

Non-negotiable rules

  1. Public repos only. Run the gate (below) before anything. Any result other than PUBLIC is a hard refusal — no overrides, no "just this once."
  2. Read-only sandbox. Always pass -s read-only to codex exec. Never --full-auto, --sandbox workspace-write, or --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox.
  3. Confirm upload first. On the first call in a session, tell the user what will be sent (branch, file count, +X/-Y) and wait for confirmation.
  4. Relay, don't agree. Present as "Codex says:" with a one-line triage (genuine / off / needs-verify) after. The user decides.
  5. Non-interactive only. codex exec or codex review. Never start an interactive session.
  6. Refuse on sensitive paths even in a public repo. If the diff touches secrets.properties, .env, *.p12, *.keystore, GoogleService-Info.plist, google-services.json, or anything matching *secret*/*credential*/*token* — refuse and warn. Their presence in a public repo is itself a problem.

Public-repo gate

Run this first, fail closed on any error:

VISIBILITY=$(gh repo view --json visibility --jq .visibility 2>&1) || VISIBILITY="ERROR: $VISIBILITY"

Accept exact PUBLIC only. Anything else (PRIVATE, INTERNAL, ERROR: …, empty) → refuse:

I can't run Codex on this repo — the public-repo gate failed (<result>). Codex uploads the diff to OpenAI, and per your standing rule this skill only runs on public GitHub repos. Try review-with-gemini or review/code-review instead.

Default invocation

BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
BASE=$(git remote show origin 2>/dev/null | awk '/HEAD branch/ {print $NF}')
BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base "$BASE" HEAD)
git diff --stat "$BASE_SHA..HEAD"

Tell the user: N files changed, +X/-Y lines. Branch <branch> vs <base>. OK to send to Codex?

Then:

codex exec -s read-only "Review the changes in this branch vs $BASE_SHA.

Focus on:
- Correctness bugs and logic errors
- Race conditions / concurrency issues
- Silent failures / swallowed errors
- Missing edge cases
- API misuse

Do NOT comment on formatting/naming/comments unless something is actually wrong.
Be terse. 'bug:' for confident, 'might:' for speculative. Under 500 words." 2>&1 | tail -200

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.
