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

codex-auth-setup 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 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.

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-auth-setup

Use this skill when the user wants to install, reinstall, upgrade, or troubleshoot codex-multi-auth for the official @openai/codex CLI.

Install

npm i -g @openai/codex
npm i -g codex-multi-auth

If the old scoped prerelease package is still installed:

npm uninstall -g @ndycode/codex-multi-auth
npm i -g codex-multi-auth

First login

codex-multi-auth login

Default flow:

  1. Open the account menu.
  2. Choose the browser-first OAuth path.
  3. Complete the official OAuth flow.
  4. Return to the terminal and confirm the account was saved.

Verify health and routing

codex-multi-auth status
codex-multi-auth list
codex-multi-auth check
codex-multi-auth forecast --live

Use these next when managing multiple accounts:

codex-multi-auth switch 2
codex-multi-auth verify-flagged
codex-multi-auth doctor --fix

Alternate login paths

Use these when browser launch is blocked or the shell is headless:

codex-multi-auth login --manual
CODEX_AUTH_NO_BROWSER=1 codex-multi-auth login

Troubleshooting

  • Run where codex-multi-auth if codex-multi-auth is not recognized.
  • Free port 1455 and retry if the OAuth callback server cannot bind.
  • Re-run codex-multi-auth login if the active account is stale or the wrong account was selected.
  • Use codex-multi-auth doctor --fix followed by codex-multi-auth check for a fast recovery loop.
  • See docs/getting-started.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/troubleshooting.md, and docs/reference/commands.md for the full command and config docs.

Usage boundaries

This project is for personal development use. For production or commercial workloads, use the OpenAI Platform API.

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.
