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 | $0.00030 | $0.00539 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00216 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00108 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00054 |
Grade A, and why
codex-project-intake 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 2mo 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.

Codex Project Intake
Goal
Turn a fresh or inherited repository into a clear working system with the right project docs, state files, risk notes, and next step, while minimizing token waste and dead ends.
When to use
Use this skill when you need to start a project from scratch, rescue an existing one, or re-establish control after the repo has drifted.
When not to use
Do not use this skill for a tiny isolated change when the relevant files are already obvious.
Inputs
AGENTS.mdand any nested agent instructions.docs/CODEBASE_INDEX.mdor the closest equivalent.docs/CODEX_STATE.md,docs/PLANS.md, anddocs/DECISIONS.mdif they exist.- The package manifest, entry points, and top-level folder scan.
docs/EFFICIENCY_SYSTEM.mdandtemplates/project/EFFICIENCY_RUN.jsonfor large or ambiguous work.
Workflow
- Detect the repo root and read project instructions before editing.
- Identify stack, package manager, major folders, and command surface.
- Decide whether the repo is a fresh bootstrap or an in-progress takeover.
- Create or update the project index, state, plan, and decision files.
- For new projects, establish the minimal operating scaffold and confirm the first safe task.
- For existing projects, map the current shape, identify drift, and choose the smallest useful recovery step.
- If the work is large or uncertain, run the efficiency benchmark workflow to compare baseline and treatment.
- Validate only what the change touches.
- Report what changed, what remains risky, and what to do next.
Quality bar
- The next action must be obvious after the intake pass.
- The repo should end with a durable state, not just a chat summary.
- The plan should be small enough to execute and specific enough to avoid wandering.
- The user should know whether the repo is ready to start work or needs recovery first.
Validation
- Run the narrowest useful validation for the files changed.
- Run benchmark comparison commands when efficiency claims are involved.
- Run secret scanning and artifact checks when instructions, templates, or examples changed.
What ships with it
4 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.
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-project-intake is a skill published in the GitHub repository YankielDBC2/codex-skills-library (13 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 539 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
