mcp-codex-worker: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/worker-campaign-cheap-reliability/SKILL.md

worker-campaign-cheap-reliability is a skill for Claude Code from sorryorc/mcp-codex-worker. It costs 35 tokens per session (300 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A measured workflow for investigating and reducing quality problems caused by using lower-cost workers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect failed jobs, compare results before and after changes, classify risky work, and route important cases for stronger review.
Why use it?
It helps identify which failures are actually caused by the worker and adds review or blocking checks according to risk. It also requires evidence before turning an advisory warning into a hard stop.

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

worker-campaign-cheap-reliability 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

Worker Campaign Cheap Reliability

Goal

Turn "cheap worker feels degraded" into measured failure classes and gated mitigations.

Phases

  1. Baseline: run npm test, npm run codex:audit -- --since-minutes=60, and collect recent failed episodes.
  2. Instrument: ensure reliability profile, episode summary, receipt abnormal verdict, and tool metrics exist.
  3. Gate: use strict for normal risky edits and critical for security, release, migration, or broad refactors.
  4. Review: send semantic-risk cases to main-thread or strong-model review.
  5. Promote: only make a warning into a hard block after eval cases prove low false-positive risk.

Wrong Paths To Fence Off

  • Do not rely on more output tokens as thinking time.
  • Do not expose all tools to a weak model by default.
  • Do not trust a model-created Observation without runtime receipt.

When Not To Use

Do not use this for one isolated failed command. Use worker-debugging-playbook.

Verification

  • npm test
  • npm run codex:guard
  • Compare trajectory scores before and after a change.

Provenance and maintenance

Add real user feedback cases as eval episodes before tightening blocking gates.

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.
