Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 5 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Prompt Injection · line 13 Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.
- high Excessive Agency · line 72 Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

- medium Prompt Injection · line 217 Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.01823 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00911 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00365 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00182 |
Grade A, and why
codex-delegator 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 7d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Codex Delegator Skill
Full documentation:
Real-World Performance (Tested 2026-01-18)
| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Model version | gpt-5.2-codex | Latest research preview |
| Latency (simple) | 3-4 seconds | Single function generation |
| Latency (complex) | 5-6 seconds | Interface + class boilerplate |
| Token overhead | ~900-1050 per session | Fixed session initialization cost |
| Default sandbox | read-only | Safe for code generation |
| Code quality | Production-ready | Proper generics, types, error handling |
When to Use Codex
Codex excels at:
| Task Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Code Generation | Implement functions, create classes, add features |
| Test Generation | Write unit tests, integration tests, test fixtures |
| Refactoring | Extract methods, rename variables, restructure |
| Code Completion | Complete partial implementations, fill in stubs |
| Bulk Code Changes | Apply patterns across multiple files |
Do NOT use for: Architecture decisions, security review, documentation-heavy tasks.
Delegation Methods
Method 1: MCP Tool (Recommended)
Use the delegate_to_model MCP tool for intelligent routing:
delegate_to_model(task: "Implement a binary search function in TypeScript")
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.
- 7d ago First seen · 237 lines · 60 tokens per session scan A a82eb515d439
codex-delegator is a skill published in the GitHub repository nexus-substrate/nexus-agents (18 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,823 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
