rez-next: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/vx-usage/SKILL.md

vx-usage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from loonghao/rez-next. It costs 81 tokens per session (4,070 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool manager that installs and runs development tools when needed by adding `vx` before a command. It supports tools such as Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, and Git.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for running language runtimes, package managers, build tools, task runners, and other command-line development tools.
Why use it?
It removes the need to install and maintain each tool separately on every machine or manually coordinate tool versions.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — built for openclaw. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); built for openclaw.

This is loonghao/rez-next's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on rez-next 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 rez-next configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/vx/dist.

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

vx-usage scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

VX - Universal Development Tool Manager

One-sentence summary: vx = prefix any dev tool command with vx → it auto-installs the tool and runs it.

vx is a universal development tool manager that automatically installs and manages development tools (Node.js, Python/uv, Go, Rust, etc.) with zero configuration.

Core Concept

Instead of requiring users to manually install tools, prefix any command with vx:

vx node --version      # Auto-installs Node.js if needed
vx uv pip install x    # Auto-installs uv if needed
vx go build .          # Auto-installs Go if needed
vx cargo build         # Auto-installs Rust if needed
vx just test           # Auto-installs just if needed

vx is fully transparent - same commands, same arguments, just add vx prefix.

Essential Commands

Tool Execution (most common)

vx <tool> [args...]           # Run any tool (auto-installs if missing)
vx node app.js                # Run Node.js
vx python script.py           # Run Python (via uv)
vx npm install                # Run npm
vx npx create-react-app app   # Run npx
vx cargo test                 # Run cargo
vx just build                 # Run just (task runner)
vx git status                 # Run git

Tool Management

vx install node@22            # Install specific version
vx install uv go rust         # Install multiple tools at once
vx list                       # List all available tools
vx list --installed           # List installed tools only
vx versions node              # Show available versions
vx switch node@20             # Switch active version
vx uninstall [email protected]          # Remove a version

Project Management

vx init                       # Initialize vx.toml for project
vx sync                       # Install all tools from vx.toml
vx setup                      # Full project setup (sync + hooks)
vx dev                        # Enter dev environment with all tools
vx run test                   # Run project scripts from vx.toml
vx check                      # Verify tool constraints
vx lock                       # Generate vx.lock for reproducibility

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.
