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

cgs-help 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 8d 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

Codex Game Studio Help

Use this skill for help work in Template Game.

Objective

Summarize available CGS workflows, next phase options, required artifacts, and safe commands.

Inputs

  • AGENTS.md
  • .codex/studio.json
  • task-relevant files named by the user or task record
  • docs/architecture/README.md
  • production/timeline.md

Arguments

  • Objective or user request.
  • Target files, scenes, assets, or docs.
  • Constraints, deadlines, acceptance criteria, and verification command when known.

Procedure

  1. Clarify the requested summarize available cgs workflows, next phase options, required artifacts, and safe commands. and identify the current project stage.
  2. Collect evidence for Available Workflows, Next Step, Required Artifact.
  3. Apply the standard and report concrete violations.
  4. Produce the requested artifact or review with clear file paths and verification evidence.

Write Targets

  • AGENTS.md
  • .codex/studio.json
  • production/timeline.md

Output Contract

  • Summary
  • Available Workflows
  • Next Step
  • Required Artifact
  • Command Help
  • Risks
  • Changed files or proposed files
  • Verification evidence
  • Next owner or decision

Quality Gates

  • Available Workflows
  • Next Step
  • Required Artifact
  • Command Help
  • Scope remains bounded to the current task and project stage.
  • Report labels unverified assumptions separately from evidence.

Decision Gates

  • Continue only when the expected output can be verified or clearly labeled as a plan.
  • Escalate to producer or qa-playtester when scope, ownership, or acceptance evidence is ambiguous.
  • Stop before broad rewrites, generated prompt mirrors, or hidden lifecycle behavior.

Handoff

Report changed files, verification evidence, remaining risks, and the next owner or decision. Do not imply hidden hooks or autonomous background work.

Files

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.

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.
