Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00055 | $0.01336 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00668 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00134 |
Grade B, and why
codex scanned grade B 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 6d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
Use `/model` slash command within a Codex session to switch models, or configure default in `~/.codex/config.toml`. This is a copy
100% identical to codex — 0 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.

Codex Skill Guide
Running a Task
- Default to
gpt-5.2model. Ask the user (viaAskUserQuestion) which reasoning effort to use (xhigh,high,medium, orlow). User can override model if needed (see Model Options below). - Select the sandbox mode required for the task; default to
--sandbox read-onlyunless edits or network access are necessary. - Assemble the command with the appropriate options:
-m, --model <MODEL>--config model_reasoning_effort="<high|medium|low>"--sandbox <read-only|workspace-write|danger-full-access>--full-auto-C, --cd <DIR>--skip-git-repo-check
- Always use --skip-git-repo-check.
- When continuing a previous session, use
codex exec --skip-git-repo-check resume --lastvia stdin. When resuming don't use any configuration flags unless explicitly requested by the user e.g. if he species the model or the reasoning effort when requesting to resume a session. Resume syntax:echo "your prompt here" | codex exec --skip-git-repo-check resume --last 2>/dev/null. All flags have to be inserted between exec and resume. - IMPORTANT: By default, append
2>/dev/nullto allcodex execcommands to suppress thinking tokens (stderr). Only show stderr if the user explicitly requests to see thinking tokens or if debugging is needed. - Run the command, capture stdout/stderr (filtered as appropriate), and summarize the outcome for the user.
- After Codex completes, inform the user: "You can resume this Codex session at any time by saying 'codex resume' or asking me to continue with additional analysis or changes."
Quick Reference
| Use case | Sandbox mode | Key flags |
|---|---|---|
| Read-only review or analysis | read-only |
--sandbox read-only 2>/dev/null |
| Apply local edits | workspace-write |
--sandbox workspace-write --full-auto 2>/dev/null |
| Permit network or broad access | danger-full-access |
--sandbox danger-full-access --full-auto 2>/dev/null |
| Resume recent session | Inherited from original | echo "prompt" | codex exec --skip-git-repo-check resume --last 2>/dev/null (no flags allowed) |
| Run from another directory | Match task needs | -C <DIR> plus other flags 2>/dev/null |
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.
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.

codex is a skill published in the GitHub repository manu14357/zskills (16 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,336 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). It is 100% identical to codex, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
