codex-collab

codex-collab is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rocky2431/ultra-builder-pro. It costs 72 tokens per session (805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for asking OpenAI Codex, a separate coding agent, to analyse a project or give an independent view on a technical decision, then combining the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Understanding an unfamiliar project, getting an architecture opinion, comparing two approaches, or sending Codex a custom question. It does not handle code review; a separate review plug-in is specified for that.
Why use it?
A second analysis can expose assumptions or give another perspective when one agent’s answer is uncertain.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: user-invocable in frontmatter, but also runs codex exec. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Good fit Understanding an unfamiliar project, getting an architecture opinion, comparing two approaches, or sending Codex a custom question. It does not handle code review; a separate review plug-in is specified for that.

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-collab 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex Collab - Dual AI Collaboration (OpenAI)

Use OpenAI's Codex CLI as an independent sub-agent within Claude Code. Claude orchestrates, Codex provides independent analysis powered by OpenAI models, Claude synthesizes the final result. All output goes through files — zero context pollution.

For code review specifically, use the official /codex:review plugin (or /codex:adversarial-review) directly — that's the dedicated, well-maintained path for the review use case. This skill covers the non-review collaboration modes the official plugin doesn't address.

Prerequisites

  • Codex CLI installed: npm install -g @openai/codex
  • Authenticated: codex login
  • Verify: codex --version

Usage

/codex-collab understand            # Codex analyzes project structure
/codex-collab opinion <topic>       # Get Codex's take on an architecture decision
/codex-collab compare <topic>       # Both AIs answer independently, then synthesize
/codex-collab free <prompt>         # Free-form prompt to Codex

When the user doesn't use a subcommand but mentions Codex in a collaborative way, infer the most appropriate mode from context. Never infer review — route review explicitly to /codex:review instead.

codex exec — Non-Interactive Mode

For understand/opinion/compare/free modes. Use -o (--output-last-message) to save clean output.

# Write mode (default)
codex exec "Your prompt here" --full-auto -o "${SESSION_PATH}/output.md" 2>"${SESSION_PATH}/error.log"

# Read-only analysis (no --full-auto, use -s read-only instead)
codex exec "Analyze this project" -s read-only -o "${SESSION_PATH}/output.md" 2>"${SESSION_PATH}/error.log"

Error Handling

  • If codex not found: npm install -g @openai/codex
  • If auth fails: codex login
  • If timeout (>5min): check partial output in file
  • If empty output: proceed with Claude-only analysis
  • Never block the workflow on Codex failure

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.
