Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: shipped in a Claude Code plugin, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is swt-labs/vibe-better-with-claude-code-vbw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on vibe-better-with-claude-code-vbw itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

vbw-review-contributor-pr 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 11d 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.

VBW Review Contributor PR

Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to review an external or contributor PR for this repo.

Workflow

  1. Identify the PR and linked issue. If multiple PRs reference the issue, ask which PR to review.
  2. Read the issue body before reading the contributor diff. The issue is the verification contract.
  3. Spawn vbw-fix-planner with the issue body only. Do not include PR comments, the PR body, the contributor branch, diff, files changed, or PR narrative. The planner output is the blind baseline.
  4. Check out or enter the contributor branch worktree. Prefer scripts/adopt-contributor-pr.sh or existing worktree helpers over inline worktree logic.
  5. Run bash testing/run-all.sh from the worktree and keep the result as review evidence.
  6. Read the PR diff and the full contents of changed files from the worktree.
  7. Compare the implementation against blind-baseline-review.md.
  8. Spawn vbw-qa-investigator for a latest GPT x-high full-contract review of the contributor branch.
  9. Read qa-evidence-comments.md, then fetch the PR body, PR issue comments, and commit history as QA evidence only after the blind baseline exists and local tests, diff review, and QA review are underway or complete. PR comments and PR body are evidence, not contract.
  10. Merge duplicate findings from the baseline comparison, QA report, tests, diff review, and QA evidence into a review_finding_ledger before posting anything to GitHub. Each finding row must include id, severity, source, path, line, side, anchor_status, inline_body, and summary_body. source may include blind-baseline, qa, tests, diff-review, qa-evidence, or a combined source list.
  11. Read github-review-submission.md, then submit exactly one GitHub PR review with APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, or COMMENT.
  12. Anchor every unique blocking finding with a valid diff line as an inline review comment, capped at 12 inline comments after deduping by root cause and severity. Put repeated, unanchorable, or over-cap findings in the review body under Unanchored blockers with the reason they were not inline.
  13. Submit the review on the PR head SHA using the GitHub app _add_review_to_pr when available, passing action, review, commit_id, and file_comments. If that tool is unavailable, use the gh api repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/:pull_number/reviews fallback with equivalent event, body, commit_id, and comments[] JSON.
  14. Do not use gh pr review when inline comments are expected; it cannot carry the required inline comment payload. It is acceptable only when there are zero anchorable findings.
  15. Verify the submitted review before reporting success: fetch the submitted reviews and inline review threads, confirm the latest review by the actor has the expected state, head commit, body marker or finding IDs, and expected inline comments.
  16. When a remote Codex review request is required, post gh pr comment <pr-number> --repo swt-labs/vibe-better-with-claude-code-vbw --body '@codex review'. This does not replace the local blind-baseline review verdict.

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.
