Trellis: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/create-manifest/SKILL.md

create-manifest is a skill for Codex from mindfold-ai/Trellis. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,504 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A release-preparation skill that creates a migration manifest and matching documentation change logs by reviewing commits since the previous release. A migration manifest lists the changes needed to move to a new software release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare migration details and documentation updates for a target release.
Why use it?
It saves time when turning a set of code changes into the files and release notes needed for a patch, beta, release candidate, or minor release.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: installed under .codex/.

This is mindfold-ai/Trellis's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on Trellis 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 Trellis configures →

About the project

Trellis is an engineering framework that stores project specifications, tasks, and working memory in a repository so coding agents can follow consistent development practices across sessions. Teams use it to organize AI-assisted planning, implementation, review, and validation across multiple coding platforms. The catalogue entries provide Trellis commands, agents, hooks, skills, instructions, and settings.

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

create-manifest 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.

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.
