ck:coding-level

A setting for choosing how much coding experience the agent should assume when explaining work, from no experience to expert level.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set a coding level in the project configuration or choose a matching output style for future sessions.
Why use it?
It adjusts explanations and output to match the reader, including how much background, reasoning, and common-mistake guidance to include.

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

ck:coding-level 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 2d 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

Coding Level

Set your coding experience level for tailored explanations and output format.

Usage

$coding-level [0-5]

Levels

Level Name Description
0 ELI5 Zero coding experience - analogies, no jargon, step-by-step
1 Junior 0-2 years - concepts explained, WHY not just HOW
2 Mid-Level 3-5 years - design patterns, system thinking
3 Senior 5-8 years - trade-offs, business context, architecture
4 Tech Lead 8-10 years - risk assessment, business impact, strategy
5 God Mode Expert - default behavior, maximum efficiency (default)

How It Works

  1. Set codingLevel in .codex/.ck.json
  2. Guidelines are automatically injected on every session start
  3. No manual activation needed - it just works!

Example

Set level 1 in .codex/.ck.json:

{
  "codingLevel": 1,
  ...
}

Next session, Codex will automatically:

  • Explain concepts and techniques clearly
  • Always explain WHY, not just HOW
  • Point out common mistakes
  • Add "Key Takeaways" after implementations

Optional: Manual Output Styles

For finer control, you can also use /output-style with these styles:

  • coding-level-0-eli5
  • coding-level-1-junior
  • coding-level-2-mid
  • coding-level-3-senior
  • coding-level-4-lead
  • coding-level-5-god
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.

ck:coding-level is a skill published in the GitHub repository manhvann/codexkit (88 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 395 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
