molyanov-ai-dev: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/skill-master/SKILL.md

skill-master is a skill for Codex from pavel-molyanov/molyanov-ai-dev. It costs 79 tokens per session (3,086 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and updating skills for AI coding agents, including keeping Claude-side source files synchronized with Codex-generated files. A skill is a set of instructions that teaches an agent how to handle a type of task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating, editing, reviewing, and synchronizing global or project skills, agents, commands, and related generated files.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes when authoring skills and helps ensure changes made in one agent environment reach the other. It also requires conflicts or validation errors to be reported before continuing.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: installed under .codex/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is pavel-molyanov/molyanov-ai-dev's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on molyanov-ai-dev 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 molyanov-ai-dev configures →

SkillSpector: 3 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 Rogue Agent · line 7
    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 7
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

skill-master 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 11d 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.

Manual Claude-to-Codex Sync

Claude-side is the source of truth for the converter's allowlist: global skills/**, agents/*.md, and commands/*.md; or project CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills/**, .claude/agents/*.md, and .claude/commands/*.md. Codex-side outputs are generated runtime. No scheduled job performs this conversion. After editing an allowlisted source, the editing agent runs the matching command and reviews the generated result before finishing:

~/.claude/scripts/sync-to-codex.sh --apply                   # global ~/.claude/**
~/.claude/scripts/sync-to-codex.sh --project "$PWD" --apply  # project .claude/**

For a project, commit generated .codex/** / AGENTS.md changes with their Claude sources, except host-local .codex/.sync/**. Global ~/.codex/** is runtime state outside the ~/.claude repository: run the global command explicitly on every affected host and do not add it to the Claude-source commit. If sync reports a conflict or validation error, stop and report it.

Authoring a skill that edits .claude/**? Paste the block above near the top of its SKILL.md so its changes reach Codex too. A skill that never touches .claude/** (pure analysis, code-writing in a project's own source tree) does not need it.

Bundled resources and the sync: Markdown files (SKILL.md, references/*.md) are text-adapted during sync (Claude tool names → Codex equivalents). Every other bundled file — scripts/, assets/, images, data — is copied byte-for-byte, unmodified. So a bundled script must be runtime-agnostic: don't hardcode .claude paths or Claude-only tool names, since neither is rewritten in the Codex copy. Reference files relative to the script's own location, and let the surrounding SKILL.md prose (which is adapted) carry any runtime-specific instructions.

About Skills

Skills give the agent domain knowledge it does not have or a specific way of working needed by the user.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
