mcp-codex-worker: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/worker-config-and-flags/SKILL.md

worker-config-and-flags is a skill for Claude Code from sorryorc/mcp-codex-worker. It costs 28 tokens per session (301 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for adding and reviewing environment variables, tool parameters, default values, and operator-facing configuration flags. It covers settings that control reliability expectations, blocking behavior, semantic review, and tool-call budgets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding, changing, or auditing worker configuration, command options, defaults, or reliability controls.
Why use it?
It helps prevent new settings from changing existing behavior unexpectedly or blocking work without a way to observe the impact first. It also keeps configuration documentation and tests aligned.

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is sorryorc/mcp-codex-worker's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-codex-worker 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 mcp-codex-worker 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

worker-config-and-flags 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 Config And Flags

Flag Discipline

  • Env defaults must be safe for existing users.
  • Per-call fields override env only for that request.
  • Any flag that can block work needs an observe or warn mode.
  • Document drift-prone defaults in .env.example and README.

Reliability Flags

Flag or field Purpose
reliability_tier / WORKER_RELIABILITY_TIER lite, standard, strict, or critical evidence expectations
blocking_policy / WORKER_BLOCKING_POLICY observe, warn, or enforce missing gates
semantic_gate / WORKER_SEMANTIC_GATE Declare semantic review expectation
tool_budget / WORKER_TOOL_BUDGET Advisory call budget for metrics

When Not To Use

Do not use this for model-quality research without config changes. Use worker-research-frontier.

Verification

  • npm test
  • rg -n "WORKER_|reliability_tier|blocking_policy|semantic_gate|tool_budget" src README.md .env.example

Provenance and maintenance

Date-sensitive provider/model facts must be rechecked against current gateway docs before publishing.

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.
