mise

mise is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tomascupr/sous-chef. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,779 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A setup and health-check workflow for Codex CLI, the command-line version of Codex, and its task-delegation setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up or refreshing the delegation profile, creating project guidance, checking authentication, and running a short smoke test.
Why use it?
It verifies the tools, login, configuration, repository guidance, and routing policy needed by related delegation workflows.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable, but also runs codex exec. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 D, and why

mise scanned grade D with 3 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mise en place - set up the kitchen before service

Every other skill assumes a chain: CLI → auth → profile → repo standards → routing policy, proven by a smoke test. Mise walks that chain and makes each link true. Open with the plan so the user knows the shape: "Four checks, at most a couple of questions, one ~30s smoke test." Report each check as pass/fixed/needs-user, batch any questions into a single AskUserQuestion call rather than interrogating one at a time, and never overwrite an existing file without asking.

1. Codex CLI present and current

codex --version
  • Missing → offer to install it for the user (npm i -g @openai/codex or brew install codex); if they decline or it fails, stop here and tell them to re-run /sous-chef:mise after installing.
  • Version below 0.134.0 → warn: this plugin uses file-per-profile config (~/.codex/sous-chef.config.toml). Older Codex only reads [profiles.*] tables from config.toml, which 0.134+ silently ignores - ask the user to upgrade rather than shipping a config that does nothing.

2. Auth

codex login status
  • Not logged in (exit 1) → tell the user to run codex login in a separate terminal (it's an interactive browser flow), then re-run /sous-chef:mise. Stop here - the remaining steps end in a smoke test that would fail confusingly without auth.
  • Logged in with ChatGPT (the normal, recommended setup - no API key needed): all good; delegated runs bill the subscription and tokens auto-refresh, even mid-run.
  • Logged in with an API key instead: warn that usage bills at per-token API rates and some models available on ChatGPT plans (GPT-5.5 included) may not be available at all under API-key auth.
  • Check [ -n "$CODEX_API_KEY" ] || [ -n "$CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN" ]: these two env vars override the login in codex exec, which is why sous-chef invocations unset them - mention it if either is set. (OPENAI_API_KEY is harmless; current Codex doesn't read it for auth.)

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.
