monorepo: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/how/SKILL.md

how is a skill for Codex from lootlog/monorepo. It costs 45 tokens per session (273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-reading method for explaining how a subsystem, feature, request, or package works. It traces where behavior starts, how data changes, and which parts of the project are involved.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for code walkthroughs, onboarding, ownership questions, runtime flows, and understanding behavior across a monorepo.
Why use it?
It gives developers a reliable mental model instead of forcing them to search through files and guess how pieces connect.

Skill for Codex

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

This is lootlog/monorepo's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on monorepo 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 monorepo 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

how 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

How

Build a working mental model from current code.

Explore

  1. Interpret the narrowest useful scope from the request. State the interpretation when ambiguity remains instead of blocking on a question.
  2. Read AGENTS.md, relevant design guidance, and local package metadata.
  3. If .codegraph/ exists, use codegraph explore first. Trace entry points, calls, data transformations, side effects, and downstream consumers.
  4. Use codegraph node for specific symbols or files. Use rg only for strings, configuration, generated data, or gaps outside the graph.
  5. Verify framework behavior against the pinned version and current primary documentation when it matters.
  6. Separate observed behavior from inferred intent.

Explain

Lead with the subsystem's purpose and boundary. Then cover, as needed:

  • key concepts and owners;
  • the flow from trigger to observable effect;
  • important files and packages;
  • data and external-system boundaries;
  • non-obvious constraints and failure modes.

Reference real symbols and paths, but do not turn the answer into annotated source code.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

how is a skill published in the GitHub repository lootlog/monorepo (29 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 273 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
