STAR: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/star-env-builder/SKILL.md

star-env-builder is a skill for Codex from wanghao9610/STAR. It costs 51 tokens per session (3,212 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating or rebuilding a project's Python working environment, such as a conda environment or virtual environment. It installs dependencies and checks that the environment works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the project's environment, install packages, verify the interpreter, or add a dependency without deleting an existing environment.
Why use it?
It removes setup differences that can stop research code from running or make results difficult to reproduce.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is wanghao9610/STAR's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on STAR itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything STAR configures →

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

star-env-builder 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 2d 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.

Research Env Builder

Invocation: star-env-builder [ENV_NAME | add <package>…] [DESCRIPTION]. Resolve add first; every following package token belongs to that mode. Otherwise use the given environment name or .env's CODE_NAME. Natural language may set requirements or authorize the build; ask only when the environment target, dependency choice, cost, or destructive handling remains unresolved.

Shared conventions. Resolve the invocation target and mode first. Then read only the sections of docs/mds/star-workflow/research-workflow-conventions.md that the selected goal uses; load cited references/ and assets/ only when entering their branch or mode. Read .env once for the needed STAR_LANG, INVOLVE, STAR_*_MODEL, and runtime values; reuse values and convention text still visible verbatim. Resolve language under conventions §7.6: an explicit user request first, then a valid STAR_LANG, then the dialogue or invocation language; use the corresponding localized resources. SKILL_zh.md is for human readers and is never loaded at runtime. Preserve an existing document's frontmatter language. Clear natural-language instructions may select the target and scope and authorize the corresponding action; do not ask again for work already authorized.

Passing a tier model. Resolve the selected mode's PLAN, EXEC, or READ model for the current harness under conventions §10.8. Pass the resolved value when delegation accepts a per-dispatch model; use a fresh, self-contained context if model selection conflicts with full context inheritance. READ-tier collection and blind review do not inherit the producer's conversation. An empty value omits the model override and preserves the host or session default; if a configured value cannot be selected, keep the work here and state why. Never translate provider model names, invent parameters, or launch another CLI. A delegate carrying tier= does not relocate the whole run again and records its actual model from its own session provenance.

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.
