symphony: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/symphony-setup/SKILL.md

symphony-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from odysseus0/symphony. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,145 once invoked), scanned C, original, from a forked repository, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for Symphony, an OpenAI Codex orchestrator that turns Linear work tickets into pull requests through autonomous coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Configuring Symphony for a repository, checking Codex, mise, GitHub, Linear, API-key, and clone-auth requirements, and getting the workflow ready.
Why use it?
It helps prepare the required tools, credentials, repository access, and Linear connection before agents can work unattended.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is odysseus0/symphony's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on symphony 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 symphony configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is mise exec -- ./bin/symphony <repo-path>/WORKFLOW.md \.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to odysseus0/symphony. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

Copy the file

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/odysseus0/symphony

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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 C, and why

symphony-setup scanned grade C with 2 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Symphony Setup

Set up Symphony — OpenAI's orchestrator that turns Linear tickets into pull requests via autonomous Codex agents.

Preflight checks

Run these checks first and stop if any fail — resolve before continuing:

  1. codex — run codex --version. Must be installed and authenticated.
  2. mise — run mise --version. Needed for Elixir/Erlang version management.
  3. gh — run gh auth status. Must be installed AND authenticated. Agents use gh to create PRs and close orphaned PRs. Silent failure without it.
  4. LINEAR_API_KEY — run test -n "$LINEAR_API_KEY" && echo "set" || echo "missing". Must persist across sessions (shell config, not just export).
  5. Linear MCP — verify Linear MCP is available. If not, set it up:
    • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http linear https://mcp.linear.app/mcp
    • Codex: codex mcp add linear --url https://mcp.linear.app/mcp
    • Other clients: see Linear MCP docs
  6. Git clone auth — the after_create hook runs git clone unattended. Verify the user's repo clone URL works non-interactively: git clone --depth 1 <url> /tmp/test-clone && rm -rf /tmp/test-clone. HTTPS with password prompts will silently fail. Use SSH keys (no passphrase) or HTTPS with credential helper / token.

Report results to the user before proceeding.

Build Symphony

Use the fork — easier to get started with:

git clone https://github.com/odysseus0/symphony
cd symphony/elixir
mise trust && mise install
mise exec -- mix setup
mise exec -- mix build

Note: mise install downloads precompiled Erlang/Elixir if available for the platform. If not, it compiles from source — this can take 10-20 minutes. Let the user know before starting.

Prepare the user's repo

Auto-detect as much as possible. Only ask the user to confirm or fill gaps.

Auto-detect repo info

  • Repo path — git rev-parse --show-toplevel from the current directory. If not in a git repo, ask.
  • Clone URL — git remote get-url origin. Verify it works non-interactively: git clone --depth 1 <url> /tmp/test-clone && rm -rf /tmp/test-clone.
  • Setup commands — infer from lockfiles/manifests. Confirm with the user.

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.
