counterpoint

counterpoint is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wallneradam/cc-plugin-counterpoint. It costs 109 tokens per session (2,736 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review service that lets an agent ask another Codex CLI process for a critique, consultation, or read-only review of local Git changes. Git is a system for tracking changes to code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it through /counterpoint, /consult, or a direct request to examine a proposal, think through a problem, or review the current repository state.
Why use it?
It supplies a separate perspective when the user explicitly requests one for a proposal, question, or code review.

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

counterpoint 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 4d 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.

Counterpoint — Collaborative Review with Codex

When to invoke

Only when the user explicitly asks. Examples:

  • /counterpoint <proposal> — critique mode
  • /consult <question> — consult mode
  • /counterpoint:review — review mode (code review of the local git state)
  • "Ask Codex what it thinks", "Get a second opinion", "Run this by Codex", "Have Codex review this"

That's it. Do NOT invoke:

  • Before finalizing plans
  • Before architectural decisions
  • When you sense a tradeoff
  • Because the situation "feels" non-trivial

If the user did not ask, do not invoke.

What Codex is — and is not

Codex is a source of outside perspective, not an authority. In critique and consult modes it sees only what you put in the prompt; in review mode it inspects the repository itself (read-only). Either way, its observations are hypotheses for you to validate against the actual code — not verdicts to apply.

MCP tool Purpose
mcp__counterpoint__critique Review a concrete proposal
mcp__counterpoint__consult Think through an uncertain problem
mcp__counterpoint__review Code review of the local git state (structured findings)
mcp__counterpoint__status Check the active thread and auto-consult state
mcp__counterpoint__reset Clear the thread (rare)
mcp__counterpoint__consult_on Turn on auto-consult mode (set via /consult_on)
mcp__counterpoint__consult_off Turn off auto-consult mode (set via /consult_off)

Always use these MCP tools directly. Do NOT substitute codex-rescue or any other Codex agent — those create disconnected one-shot sessions and lose the thread memory that makes counterpoint useful.

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.
