codex-changelog

codex-changelog is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zeikar/hyperclaude. It costs 129 tokens per session (1,838 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-checking guide for the Codex command-line tool, which lets developers run Codex from a terminal. It compares locally recorded releases with newer stable releases and considers their effect on a project’s Codex connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check new Codex CLI releases, review changes between versions, and assess their relevance to the project’s Codex bridge.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually read every Codex release note and decide whether it affects the project’s integration.

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-changelog 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (get-releases.mjs, get-releases.test.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

codex-changelog — Codex CLI release watch (hyperclaude bridge relevance)

Repo-local dev tool (NOT a plugin skill). Compare a stored "last-checked" codex-cli STABLE version against the latest stable release, mine the release notes in between, and report only what touches this repo's Codex bridge — then optionally advance the stored version so the next run diffs from here.

The value is not "summarize Codex releases" — it is mapping generic Codex CLI changes onto the specific surface of the hyperclaude bridge (the only Codex-spawning code in the plugin) and verifying impact against the real bridge files.

Source (differs from cc-changelog)

Codex's CHANGELOG.md only points at GitHub Releases — it is NOT a per-version file. So the authoritative source is the GitHub Releases of openai/codex, read via gh (already authed in this repo):

  • gh release list --repo openai/codex --limit <N> — tags look like rust-v0.142.5 (stable) and rust-v0.143.0-alpha.NN (pre-release). The row marked Latest is the current stable.
  • gh release view <tag> --repo openai/codex — the per-release notes.

Step 2's get-releases.mjs helper wraps both calls (list → filter to new stables → per-new-stable view), so you don't invoke gh by hand in the normal path.

Fallback if gh is unavailable: WebFetch https://github.com/openai/codex/releases.

Track STABLE, note alphas. The plugin runs against the installed stable codex, so the version diff gates on stable→stable. The alpha stream (-alpha.NN, many per week) is NOT tracked per-release — but DO surface a one-line "N newer alphas exist (latest rust-v0.143.0-alpha.NN)" so upcoming changes are visible without firehose noise.

State file

.claude/skills/codex-changelog/.last-checked-version (sibling of this file, gitignored): a single line with the last-reviewed codex-cli STABLE version, e.g. 0.142.5. It is the diff baseline; it advances only in Step 6.

Procedure

Step 1 — Baseline

The diff baseline is .claude/skills/codex-changelog/.last-checked-version (one stable X.Y.Z line) — call it STORED. Step 2's helper reads it automatically; you don't Read it here. If it's missing/empty the helper exits 2 — then ask which stable version to baseline (or read the installed one via codex --version) and pass it as the argument.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
