codex-skill-system-bootstrap

codex-skill-system-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YankielDBC2/codex-skills-library. It costs 34 tokens per session (334 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup process for adding Codex’s skill system to another code repository. It can add reusable skills, project instructions, state notes, and validation scripts where needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when introducing agent instructions and selected skills to a repository that does not already have a mature agent system.
Why use it?
It gives an existing project a consistent way to guide and check coding-agent work without copying unnecessary files.

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-skill-system-bootstrap 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.

What it actually says

Codex Skill System Bootstrap

Goal

Install a lightweight Codex skill system into a target repository without disrupting the project.

When to use

Use when setting up .agents/skills/, AGENTS.md, project notes, reusable prompts, or validation scripts in another repo.

When not to use

Do not use when the target repo already has a mature agent system and only needs one specific skill update.

Inputs

Inspect the target repo root, existing AGENTS.md, package manager files, .gitignore, docs, and current project conventions.

Workflow

  1. Detect the target project's stack and package manager.
  2. Create .agents/skills/ only if missing.
  3. Add a concise AGENTS.md if missing or improve it if weak.
  4. Add project state docs only if they will be used.
  5. Copy only relevant skills, not the whole library by default.
  6. Add validation scripts that fit the target project.
  7. Ensure secrets are ignored.
  8. Document how to use the installed skills.

Quality bar

A good bootstrap is minimal, reversible, and aligned with the target repo's existing conventions.

Validation

Run available package checks and confirm no secret files were copied.

Final response

Report installed files, skipped files, validation commands, and how to start the next Codex session.

Files

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.

forgetful-encode-repo

Encode a repository into the Forgetful knowledge base — bootstrap the project, its entities, memories, and documents from the codebase itself. Use when bringing a new repo under Forgetful or refreshing a stale encoding. Re-encoding is an update pass: query-before-create makes it supersession, not duplication.

dotfiles-bootstrap

Bootstrap a workstation with the dotfiles framework. Takes a GitHub user / owner+repo / explicit clone URL and runs dot init (which shells out to chezmoi) with the right safety prompts. Honors the active agent profile (ask / plan / apply / audit) so it defaults to dry-run in safer modes and full apply in apply.
