codex-fluent

codex-fluent is a skill for Codex from majiayu000/spellbook. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,264 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to keeping long-running Codex sessions manageable by reviewing old session state, preserving useful handoffs, and archiving inactive work. It focuses on reducing accumulated context and workspace clutter.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for session cleanup, preparing handoff notes before archiving work, and maintaining clear restore paths for projects you may continue later.
Why use it?
It helps when Codex becomes slow or when old conversations make it harder to resume current work without repeating background information.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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-fluent 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 9d 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.

Codex Fluent

Keep Codex feeling fast, light, and pleasant to use over months of heavy daily work.

This skill is about operational fluency — the subjective experience of Codex staying responsive, starting quickly, and not forcing you to fight accumulated context and state.

Core Philosophy

  • Fresh small state = speed and low mental load.
  • Old work must be preserved, but moved out of the active path.
  • Handoffs are non-negotiable before archiving anything you might still need.
  • Never delete. Archive with clear restore paths.

When to Use This Skill

  • Codex feels laggy on startup or when switching sessions.
  • You have many long-running or old chats you rarely touch but don't want to lose.
  • Before big maintenance or after noticing session directory growth.
  • After a codex-retrospective session where Codex itself flagged repeated context bloat or "I keep having to re-explain the current state".

Safety Rules (Hard)

  1. Inspect first, always. The first invocation must be report-only.
  2. Handoff before archive. For any active repo chat you might continue, a high-quality handoff document + reactivation prompt must exist before it is moved to archive.
  3. Backup before mutate. All changes must be preceded by a timestamped backup.
  4. Archive, never delete. Sessions, logs, and worktrees are moved to dedicated archive directories (~/.codex/archived_sessions/, archived_worktrees/, archived_logs/).
  5. Codex must be closed (or you explicitly accept --wait-for-codex-exit) before any filesystem changes to active state.
  6. Never touch credentials, global skills you still use, or memory files without explicit confirmation.
  • Heavy daily multi-repo users: weekly report + maintenance when needed.
  • Moderate users: every 10–14 days.
  • The skill can generate a recurring report-only reminder prompt for you.

Workflow

1. Diagnosis (Report Mode)

Ask:

Use codex-fluent to inspect my current Codex local state and give me a clear picture of what is causing drag.

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.
