Skill for Codex

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

This is matthiasn/lotti's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on lotti 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 lotti configures →

About the project

Lotti is a private logbook that stores tasks, time records, notes, habits, and health data on a person's devices, with personal AI assistants that summarize records and suggest changes for approval. It is for people who want to track intended and completed work while keeping synchronized data end-to-end encrypted. The catalogue add-ons provide agents, skills, and instructions for working with Lotti.

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 B, and why

beads 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 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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.
