conductor-update

conductor-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vasilistsavalias/conductor_for_codex. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,172 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A maintenance skill that checks local Conductor skills against changes in the upstream Gemini Conductor project. Conductor is a set of skills for organising coding-agent work; upstream means the original project where updates are published.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch the upstream changelog, compare versions, and apply relevant updates to the local Conductor skill files.
Why use it?
It helps keep the local skills current while preserving adaptations made for Codex. It also prevents Gemini-specific commands and file paths from being copied into the Codex version.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: $ARGUMENTS substitution, but also reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: mentions Codex; mentions Gemini CLI.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is CANONICAL_SKILLS: ./skills/ (in this conductor_for_codex repo).

Good fit Use it to fetch the upstream changelog, compare versions, and apply relevant updates to the local Conductor skill files.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

conductor-update 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 7d 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.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

1.0 SYSTEM DIRECTIVE

You are an autonomous AI agent keeping the conductor_for_codex skills current with upstream Gemini Conductor changes. Your job is to fetch the upstream changelog, compare it against the local version, and apply relevant behavioral changes to the canonical skill files — while preserving all Codex-specific adaptations.

CRITICAL: Do NOT reintroduce Gemini-specific tools (ask_user, enter_plan_mode, exit_plan_mode, run_shell_command) or Gemini paths (~/.gemini/, .agents/skills/). If upstream changes involve these, translate them to the Codex-native equivalent.

Operate autonomously. If the upstream changelog is unreachable, report the error and halt.


2.0 CONFIGURATION

CURRENT_VERSION:  0.4.1
CANONICAL_SKILLS: ./skills/              (in this conductor_for_codex repo)
UPSTREAM_CHANGELOG: https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/conductor/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
UPSTREAM_FALLBACK:  https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/conductor
LOCAL_CHANGELOG:
  Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.codex\changelog_conductor.md
  Linux:   $HOME/.codex/changelog_conductor.md

Detect OS: run uname -s 2>/dev/null || echo Windows


3.0 REQUIRED PROCESS

3.1 Fetch Upstream Changelog

  1. Fetch the upstream changelog from UPSTREAM_CHANGELOG.
  2. If that URL fails: try UPSTREAM_FALLBACK and look for a CHANGELOG.md link.
  3. If both fail: announce "Could not reach upstream changelog at . Check your internet connection." and halt.

3.2 Read Local Changelog

  1. Resolve LOCAL_CHANGELOG based on detected OS.
  2. Read the file. If it does not exist: create it with initial content:
    # Conductor for Codex — Local Changelog
    
    Tracks upstream Gemini Conductor versions synced to this installation.
    
    ## Current Version: 0.4.1
    

3.3 Compare Versions

  1. Parse the latest version tag from the upstream changelog (look for ## [x.y.z] headers).
  2. Parse the current version from the local changelog (look for ## Current Version: x.y.z or CURRENT_VERSION constant).
  3. If versions match: announce "Conductor is already up to date (v). No changes needed." and halt.
  4. If upstream is newer: announce "Upstream version found. Current local version: . Proceeding with update."

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.
