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

manage-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.

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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manage Codex Themes

Use the pinned public CLI so the commands match this Plugin release:

npx -y [email protected] --help

Safe workflow

  1. Run npx -y [email protected] status --json and npx -y [email protected] doctor --json before changing runtime state. doctor is offline unless --live is explicitly supplied.
  2. Install and select a published theme with npx -y [email protected] use THEME@VERSION, or an exact local release candidate with npx -y [email protected] use PACK_DIRECTORY. This does not launch, close, or restart Codex. For local QA, verify that status --json reports the same id and version as the source manifest.
  3. If the compatibility runtime is already active, switch with npx -y [email protected] switch THEME; the runtime applies the new pointer without moving native Codex controls.
  4. Ask for explicit confirmation before running launch, resume, --launch, or --restart. State that these use an unofficial loopback-only CDP layer. Never infer restart permission from a request to install or switch a theme.
  5. Verify with npx -y [email protected] verify. Add --screenshot ABSOLUTE_PATH.png only when the user asked for a capture and the destination is known.
  6. Use pause for a temporary stock appearance while retaining the selected theme. Use restore to restore the previous pointer (or remove the active pointer when none exists), then tell the user to reopen Codex normally for the definitive stock appearance. Use the platform restore command when a live compatibility session also needs to be stopped. Use uninstall THEME only after confirming it is not active; reserve --force for an explicit user request.
  7. For pre-publish QA, require a clean demo workspace and inspect welcome branding, Home, a normal Task, sidebar menus, expanded terminal, Settings, banners and Dismiss actions, dialogs and Review actions, inputs, selected/disabled states, and a narrow window. Ask the user for visual confirmation; command success alone is not approval.
  8. Test restore before declaring local QA complete. If the user wants to keep testing, reselect the exact local pack only after restore succeeds.

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.
