codex-project-intake

codex-project-intake is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YankielDBC2/codex-skills-library. It costs 30 tokens per session (539 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeatable process for starting a new software project or taking control of an inherited repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect project instructions, identify the technology stack and package manager, map major folders, and create or update project state, plans, decisions, and index documents.
Why use it?
A project can quickly become hard to manage when its instructions, structure, current state, risks, and next actions are unclear. This process establishes that working context with minimal wasted effort.

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

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 5d 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.md and any nested agent instructions.
  • docs/CODEBASE_INDEX.md or the closest equivalent.
  • docs/CODEX_STATE.md, docs/PLANS.md, and docs/DECISIONS.md if they exist.
  • The package manifest, entry points, and top-level folder scan.
  • docs/EFFICIENCY_SYSTEM.md and templates/project/EFFICIENCY_RUN.json for large or ambiguous work.

Workflow

  1. Detect the repo root and read project instructions before editing.
  2. Identify stack, package manager, major folders, and command surface.
  3. Decide whether the repo is a fresh bootstrap or an in-progress takeover.
  4. Create or update the project index, state, plan, and decision files.
  5. For new projects, establish the minimal operating scaffold and confirm the first safe task.
  6. For existing projects, map the current shape, identify drift, and choose the smallest useful recovery step.
  7. If the work is large or uncertain, run the efficiency benchmark workflow to compare baseline and treatment.
  8. Validate only what the change touches.
  9. 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.

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.
