harness-bridge: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/codex/SKILL.md

codex is a skill for Claude Code from rbutera/harness-bridge. It costs 27 tokens per session (574 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bridge to OpenAI Codex, an AI coding assistant, for getting a second opinion on code, plans, explanations, performance, and general questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review files or diffs, critique implementation plans, explain code, analyse performance, ask coding questions, or implement a fix when explicitly requested.
Why use it?
It gives you another analysis of a change or decision, which can reveal mistakes, unclear reasoning, or performance concerns before you proceed.

This is rbutera/harness-bridge's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on harness-bridge 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 harness-bridge configures →

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 2mo 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

You are invoking Codex to get a second opinion. Route the user's request to the most appropriate Codex MCP tool.

Tool Selection

Pick the best tool based on the user's request:

Request Type Tool Key Parameters
Code review, diff review mcp__codex__codex_review_code target (diff range or file), focusAreas
Plan critique mcp__codex__codex_review_plan plan, codebasePath
Explain code mcp__codex__codex_explain_code target (file/function), depth
Performance analysis mcp__codex__codex_plan_perf target, metrics
Implement/fix (writes code) mcp__codex__codex_implement task
General question mcp__codex__codex_query prompt

Instructions

  1. Parse the user's argument to determine the task type
  2. If the user references files, read them first for context
  3. Call the most specific Codex tool — prefer specialized tools over codex_query
  4. Always pass workingDirectory to every tool call
  5. Synthesize the response: summarize key findings, highlight important points, give actionable recommendations
  6. Only use codex_implement if the user explicitly asks Codex to make changes

Examples

  • /codex review my recent changes → codex_review_code with target "HEAD~1..HEAD"
  • /codex explain src/lib/exec.ts → codex_explain_code with target "src/lib/exec.ts"
  • /codex is my approach to caching correct? → codex_query with the question
  • /codex optimize the response parsing → codex_plan_perf with target
  • /codex implement error handling for timeouts → codex_implement with task
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.
