setup-codex-engineering-workflow

setup-codex-engineering-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SetraTheXX/Codex-Engineering-Workflow-Pack. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for adding shared Codex Engineering Workflow settings to a code repository. It records where project issues, documentation, tests, handoff notes, and architecture decisions belong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing a repository for planning, debugging, testing, issue writing, and handoff work by creating or updating guidance under docs/agents/ and docs/adr/.
Why use it?
It gives later workflow tasks the project context they need instead of making each task rediscover the repository’s conventions.

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

setup-codex-engineering-workflow 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 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.

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 — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Setup Codex Engineering Workflow

Set up the repo-local context that the other workflow skills read before planning, debugging, testing, issue writing, or handoff.

This skill is local-first. Prefer markdown files in the current repo. Treat GitHub or any remote issue tracker as optional, never required.

What This Skill Produces

When approved by the user, create or update repo-local guidance under docs/agents/.

Default layout:

docs/agents/
  issue-tracker.md
  domain.md
  test-commands.md
  handoff.md
  issues/
docs/adr/
CONTEXT.md

Do not overwrite existing configuration without showing the planned changes first.

Read First

Inspect the repo before asking questions.

Look for:

  • Package manager files: package.json, lockfiles, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, go.mod, or similar.
  • Existing scripts: test, typecheck, lint, format, e2e, dev.
  • Existing docs: README.md, docs/, CONTEXT.md, docs/adr/, specs/, plans/.
  • Existing issue conventions: docs/agents/issues/, .scratch/, issues/, .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.
  • Existing handoff notes: docs/agents/handoffs/, handoffs/, temp notes, or project docs.
  • Git remote only as a clue. Do not assume GitHub issues are the tracker.

Use fast search commands when available:

rg --files

Decision Model

Make recommendations from repo evidence. Ask the user only when the answer cannot be inferred safely.

Decisions to establish:

  1. Issue tracker
  2. Docs directory
  3. ADR directory
  4. Domain language document
  5. Test commands
  6. Package manager
  7. Agent handoff directory
  8. Local issue directory

Default choices:

  • Issue tracker: local markdown.
  • Docs directory: docs/agents/.
  • ADR directory: docs/adr/.
  • Domain language document: CONTEXT.md.
  • Handoff directory: docs/agents/handoffs/.
  • Local issue directory: docs/agents/issues/.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
