create-codex-theme

create-codex-theme is a skill for Codex from ViisOpen/get-codex-theme. It costs 83 tokens per session (3,423 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for creating and testing theme packs for Codex Desktop from artwork, landscape images, brand colors, or a style brief. It keeps generated theme files separate from the signed Codex application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate, customize, validate, locally install, or test a Codex Desktop theme pack.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for turning visual direction into a theme while separating file creation, local testing, official settings, and unofficial background delivery.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads ~/.codex paths; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node packages/theme-cli/bin/get-codex-theme.mjs create THEME_ID \.

Good fit Use it to generate, customize, validate, locally install, or test a Codex Desktop theme pack.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

create-codex-theme 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/inspect_image.py, scripts/theme_pack.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 272 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Codex Theme

Create and locally verify a release candidate without modifying the signed Codex application. Keep filesystem creation, user-authorized live QA, official native settings, and unofficial visual-background delivery clearly separated.

Human guidance and agent execution

Keep these two surfaces separate:

  • A human-facing wizard may explain choices, preview paths, and ask only for creative intent, unavoidable rights facts, and bounded local-state authorization.
  • A Codex agent must translate the user's natural-language intent into one deterministic creation invocation, followed by explicit coverage and validation commands. It must use --non-interactive for creation, must not wait for terminal prompts, and must fail closed when a required input is unknown.

When a Get Codex Theme website prompt includes a creative brief, an asset record, an autonomy contract, and explicit local-QA authorization, treat that prompt as the complete guided Create contract. Do not ask again for id, name, mode, authoring path, preset, component groups, output directory, background strategy, description, tagline, design story, tags, author display name, pack license, image approval, local install permission, or visual acceptance. Derive those values and evaluate the available automated evidence as directed by the prompt. This authorization never includes launching, quitting, restarting, or capturing private Codex surfaces.

Before executing, write a short contract with these headings:

  • Goal: the pack to create and whether the result is a draft or release candidate.
  • Context: known id, name, mode, source image, output directory, authoring path, selected component groups, preset, and asset rights.
  • Constraints: no overwrite, no inferred redistribution rights, bounded component tokens only, no live changes before static validation, and no launch, restart, or capture without explicit permission.
  • Done when: creation succeeds, coverage and strict validation pass, the exact pack is installed only after authorization, real-Codex visual QA and restore are confirmed, and the final completion state is reported truthfully.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
