coding-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nclamvn/openclawvn. It costs 26 tokens per session (2,491 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of coding-agent, MIT.

A tool for running Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi coding agents as background processes that programs can control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start coding agents, choose their working folder, run them in the background, set time limits, and monitor their sessions.
Why use it?
It handles the terminal setup these interactive coding programs need, including a pseudo-terminal so they can run correctly.

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

coding-agent 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

**Model:** `gpt-5.2-codex` is the default (set in ~/.codex/config.toml)
Origin

This is a copy

73% identical to coding-agent — 76 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 285 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Coding Agent (bash-first)

Use bash (with optional background mode) for all coding agent work. Simple and effective.

⚠️ PTY Mode Required!

Coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, Pi) are interactive terminal applications that need a pseudo-terminal (PTY) to work correctly. Without PTY, you'll get broken output, missing colors, or the agent may hang.

Always use pty:true when running coding agents:

# ✅ Correct - with PTY
bash pty:true command:"codex exec 'Your prompt'"

# ❌ Wrong - no PTY, agent may break
bash command:"codex exec 'Your prompt'"

Bash Tool Parameters

Parameter Type Description
command string The shell command to run
pty boolean Use for coding agents! Allocates a pseudo-terminal for interactive CLIs
workdir string Working directory (agent sees only this folder's context)
background boolean Run in background, returns sessionId for monitoring
timeout number Timeout in seconds (kills process on expiry)
elevated boolean Run on host instead of sandbox (if allowed)

Process Tool Actions (for background sessions)

Action Description
list List all running/recent sessions
poll Check if session is still running
log Get session output (with optional offset/limit)
write Send raw data to stdin
submit Send data + newline (like typing and pressing Enter)
send-keys Send key tokens or hex bytes
paste Paste text (with optional bracketed mode)
kill Terminate the session

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.
