codex-conductor

codex-conductor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yksanjo/codex-conductor. It costs 54 tokens per session (535 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only supervisor for local Codex sessions, where each session is a separate coding-agent conversation or workspace activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for listing active or recent sessions, their projects and tasks, recent actions, status, and likely remaining work.
Why use it?
It gives a current overview of what other Codex sessions appear to be doing without interrupting or controlling them.

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-conductor 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.

What it actually says

Codex Conductor

You are using Codex Conductor as a read-only session supervisor. It reads local Codex transcripts and reports what other sessions appear to be doing. Do not interrupt or type into other sessions unless the user explicitly asks for control.

Step 1 - Gather Sessions

Run the scanner:

node ~/codex-conductor/scan.js --json --minutes 30

It scans ~/.codex/sessions/**/*.jsonl, uses ~/.codex/session_index.jsonl for thread names when available, groups by session id, and returns structured JSON.

Widen the window with --minutes 60, or pass --all when the user wants older local history.

Step 2 - Render The Table

For each session, use:

  • label / project - where it is working.
  • title, task, and intent - what the session appears to be about.
  • recent and lastAction - what happened recently.
  • lastActiveRel - how long since real activity.
  • status - active, open, recent, or idle.

Output format:

N Codex sessions

* <label> · <status> · <lastActiveRel>
  doing now  : <one-line inference from lastAction/recent>
  done       : <best-effort summary from recent records>
  what's left: <best-effort next step; mark uncertain guesses with ?>

Rules

  • "What's left" is inference, not fact. The transcript shows activity, not a confirmed todo list.
  • Keep it scannable. The user is triaging sessions, not reading a report.
  • If count is 0, say no recent Codex sessions were found and suggest --minutes 60 or --all.
  • This skill is read-only. For control, point the user at codex-conductor run <label>, codex-conductor say <label> <text>, and codex-conductor adopt <id>, or use the MCP tools if available.
  • auto_continue runs under the irreversibility gate and refuses unattended deploy, send, delete, or spend approvals.
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.

codex-conductor is a skill published in the GitHub repository yksanjo/codex-conductor (1 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 535 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
