Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00061 | $0.00738 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00295 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00148 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00074 |
Grade C, and why
ask-llm-codex-pair-pause scanned grade C 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 14d 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
For permanent disable, remove the `.codex-pair/` directory instead (`rm -rf .codex-pair/`). For per-file/per-directory opt-out, use `.codex-pair/ignore` (gitignore-style globs). This is a copy
89% identical to codex-pair-pause — 66 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Portable contract
Create the project-local .codex-pair/state/paused sentinel without removing the marker or history. This is a manual pause and remains until explicitly resumed.
Host adapters
Pi adapter
Run /codex-pair-pause or create the sentinel exactly as described by the portable contract.
Other hosts adapter
Apply the portable contract above: create the sentinel file exactly as described. It pauses the codex-pair reviewer that Claude Code or Pi runs for this project.
Claude Code adapter
The existing detailed workflow below is the Claude Code adapter. Its Agent, MCP, hook, CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, and AskUserQuestion mechanics apply only on Claude Code; they do not override the Pi adapter above.
Pause codex-pair for this project
Pauses the codex-pair hook for the current project without removing the .codex-pair/context.md marker. The marker (and its project context) stays in place — only the temporary pause sentinel is written. Resume with /codex-pair-resume.
The hook may also pause itself automatically — on provider quota exhaustion or after
3 consecutive review failures — writing the same sentinel with a JSON body that
records why (kind, reason, resetHint). Manual and automatic pauses are resumed
the same way.
When to use
- Starting a noisy refactor where every edit would surface concerns you've already decided to accept
- Working on docs/comments/typos where review adds no value
- Dogfooding the hook itself (avoid recursive self-reviews)
- Burning down a known-issues list where you don't want codex re-flagging them on every save
For permanent disable, remove the .codex-pair/ directory instead (rm -rf .codex-pair/). For per-file/per-directory opt-out, use .codex-pair/ignore (gitignore-style globs).
Instructions
- Locate the
.codex-pair/context.mdmarker by walking up from the current working directory (the project ROOT is the directory holding.codex-pair/). If no marker is found, inform the user: "codex-pair is not enabled in this project (no.codex-pair/context.mdmarker found). Nothing to pause."
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.

ask-llm-codex-pair-pause is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lykhoyda/ask-llm (18 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 738 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). It is 89% identical to codex-pair-pause, differing in 66 lines, and is treated as a copy.
