codex

codex is a skill for Claude Code from notque/vexjoy-agent. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,880 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Codex execution skill runs selected GPT-5.6 tasks through the Codex command-line interface. It defines the standard command-line execution path and keeps specialized review and image workflows separate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a task needs the GPT-5.6 execution lane, especially for general work or deliberate cross-provider review through the Codex CLI.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to send benchmark-selected work to a specific OpenAI model and avoids duplicating specialized workflows.

    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.

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 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.

Codex — the GPT-5.6 Execution Lane

Run a benchmark-selected GPT-5.6 task through the Codex CLI (codex exec) and return the result. This is the OpenAI execution lane — the general-purpose lane for work the model-selection policy sends to GPT-5.6, and the canonical owner of general codex exec mechanics — when the CLI changes, update here first. GPT selections are reachable only through this CLI; the Agent tool's model parameter covers Claude models only.

Under Claude Code, this skill runs only on explicit invocation or cross-provider escalation, never as the automatic default. The harness-native model lane under Claude Code is the Anthropic lane (Opus 5). This skill is a deliberate cross-provider tool — codex review as a second-opinion, codex exec for a GPT-specific constraint — not a routing default.

Two flows keep their own specialized codex integration — route to them instead of re-implementing here:

Existing flow Owns Where

Phase 1: DECIDE — does this task belong on GPT-5.6?

Policy mirror — canonical copy: /do SKILL.md, Model Selection (edit there first, then here). Rankings, higher = better; cost = avg USD per task, written as a plain number (slash-command templating corrupts dollar-digit sequences in injected skill bodies), what the owner actually pays.

Task class Model / effort DeepSWE Pass@1 / cost / output tokens / steps
Low-risk assistance gpt-5.6-terra / high 54 / 1.13 / 22k / 34
Standard implementation gpt-5.6-sol / high 69 / 3.47 / 28k / 37
High-risk implementation or review gpt-5.6-sol / xhigh 71 / 4.70 / 41k / 44
Exceptional explicit escalation gpt-5.6-sol / max 73 / 8.39 / 60k / 61

Run deterministic work as scripts, not through Codex. The /do model policy selects the lane and passes model plus effort. Legacy GPT-5.5, all Luna choices, and the other non-default GPT-5.6 settings are manual-only; do not substitute them automatically. Luna max, for example, saves 0.44 USD versus Sol high but consumes 45k more output tokens and 65 more steps for two fewer Pass@1 points. Consult the canonical table in /do SKILL.md.

codex is a skill published in the GitHub repository notque/vexjoy-agent (443 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 1,880 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
