What is codex-goal-mining?

A local data-analysis workflow for Codex /goal history. It measures recorded work time, resumed conversation spans, statuses, and repeated runs, including data from more than one configured machine.

Use it to report local or fleet-wide goals, rank active or blocked work, compare time and token usage, and create copy-paste suites for repeated campaigns.

It turns scattered goal records into evidence about unfinished or recurring work and repeatable test or execution suites.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Its marketplace also offers this one on its own, as the plugin codex-goal-mining — /plugin install codex-goal-mining after adding the marketplace above.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00094	$0.00808
Opus 5	$0.00047	$0.00404
Sonnet 5	$0.00019	$0.00162
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00081

Security

Grade A, and why

codex-goal-mining 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/codex-goal-report-test.py, scripts/codex-goal-report.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.

Codex Goal Mining

Purpose

Recover structured Codex goal history and convert free-form runs into evidence-backed, repeatable suites.

When to use

The user asks what /goal commands ran locally or across the fleet.
Large QA, beta, release, localization, model, cleanup, or PR campaigns need retesting.
The user wants active, paused, blocked, or long-running goals ranked.
Repeated semantic runs need stable suite names and copy-paste prompts.
Goal time, thread span, tokens, dates, machines, or reachability matter.

Workflow

Collect structured data with scripts/codex-goal-report.py.
- Fleet report: scripts/codex-goal-report.py --policy ~/.config/codex-goal-mining/fleet-policy.json --json --output ~/.codex/reports/codex-fleet-goals.json
- Local only: scripts/codex-goal-report.py --local --json
- Recent window: add --since YYYY-MM-DD.
- Selected machines: repeat --machine <fleet-alias>.
- Start fleet configuration from references/fleet-policy.example.json; never commit a real private inventory.
Treat the data sources correctly.
- Prefer goals_1.sqlite for objective, status, tokens, and Codex-recorded active goal time.
- Join state_5.sqlite for thread timestamps and rollout paths.
- Use JSONL only as a fallback for older installations.
- Wall-clock thread span includes idle and resume gaps; never describe it as active labor.
Report collection coverage first.
- List reached and unreachable machines.
- Give the date range, goal count, statuses, total active goal time, and median goal time.
- Preserve exact transport blockers instead of silently shrinking the fleet.
Mine patterns semantically.
- Exact duplicate text is weak evidence because operators rephrase goals.
- Cluster by intended test surface, matrix, exit criteria, and repeated operating contract.
- Prioritize unfinished goals and recurring high-time campaigns.
- Separate product beta suites from operational queues such as contributor PR sweeps.
Produce reusable reruns.
- Use [suite:<name>] [baseline:<sha-or-date>] [matrix:<targets>] [exit:<criteria>].
- Include a fixed matrix, evidence requirements, blocker rules, and definition of done.
- Start from references/goal-suite-patterns.md, then adapt to current evidence.
Keep reports private.
- Default to ~/.codex/reports/ or another private path.
- Scrub secrets, private hosts, personal absolute paths, and credentials before creating a gist or sharing externally.
- Use a secret gist unless the user explicitly requests public visibility.

What ships with it

6 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.

codex-goal-mining is a skill published in the GitHub repository vincentkoc/dotskills (102 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 808 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
