workspace-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RichardGeorgeDavis/Codex-Workspace. It costs 21 tokens per session (281 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Workspace maintenance guidance for keeping shared files, scripts, caches, and rules organized across multiple code repositories.

In plain words

Use it to inspect workspace instructions, run health checks, choose shared templates, and maintain workspace-level tooling safely.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicated setup, inconsistent conventions, and unsafe changes to shared workspace settings.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

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

This is RichardGeorgeDavis/Codex-Workspace's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Codex-Workspace 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 Codex-Workspace 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

workspace-maintenance 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 9d 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

Workspace Maintenance

Use this skill when the task is about improving the workspace itself rather than a single child repo.

Goal

Keep the workspace predictable, low-duplication, and easy for Codex or other local agents to navigate.

Default workflow

  1. Read AGENTS.md and the relevant docs in docs/.
  2. Run tools/scripts/doctor-workspace.sh before changing shared setup assumptions.
  3. Prefer workspace-native scripts and templates over ad hoc one-off layouts.
  4. Keep repo installs local to each repo. Share caches, not installs.
  5. When a reviewed reference appears in tools/ref/, extract the pattern into tracked workspace code, docs, templates, or skills rather than adding the reference as a dependency.

Useful commands

tools/scripts/doctor-workspace.sh
tools/scripts/doctor-agent-tooling.sh
tools/scripts/setup-workspace-profile.sh --list
tools/scripts/sync-reference-snapshots.sh --list
tools/scripts/update-all.sh --list-groups

Guardrails

  • Do not make experimental orchestration layers mandatory for the whole workspace.
  • Do not centralize dependencies across unrelated repos.
  • Prefer small, inspectable tracked improvements over hidden runtime magic.
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.
