zephex is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zephexMCP/agent-skills. It costs 221 tokens per session (3,174 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A project-analysis assistant for a developer's own codebase, available through Zephex tools or its command-line program. A monorepo is one repository containing multiple related applications or packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps onboard a repository, search and read code, map an application, run or investigate tests, audit a live HTTPS address, and record project facts.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand unfamiliar code, find relevant files, inspect architecture, check packages, and diagnose tests without relying only on general programming knowledge.

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 B, and why

zephex scanned grade B with 2 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 9d 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.

Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

CLI (optional): curl -fsSL https://zephex.dev/cli/install.sh | bash

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 291 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Zephex — MCP + CLI for the user's project

Zephex analyzes the user's own repo — not training data. Same ten tools, same credits:

Surface How
Editor MCP Call the tool by name with path
Terminal CLI cd their project → zephex <command>
Web terminal Same command words, in the browser

zephex:find_code = find_code = zephex find. If they asked you to use Zephex, you MUST call at least one Zephex tool (or one zephex command) before answering about their code. Max 3 identical calls per turn without new evidence.

Removed — never call: scope_task, inspect_url, audit_package, bare thinking.

path: absolute dir, or github:owner/repo / GitHub URL. Monorepo: the app package (or --cwd).
inline_files: { "src/a.ts": "<full file body>" } only when there is no disk.


Workflow

Pick one row. MCP when connected; CLI when they are in a shell.

They need MCP CLI
What is this app? get_project_context topic identity then run zephex overview
Full orientation / where to start a task context + find + architecture zephex deep --json or deep "the task"
Folder map only zephex structure (0 credits)
How auth/API wires explain_architecture zephex architecture --focus auth
Find code find_code zephex find "…"
Read a known file/symbol read_code zephex read <path>
Before install check_package (task check then upgrade/security/migrate) zephex safe <pkg>
After edits check_test task run, then failures on session_id zephex test then check test failures
Live URL they pasted audit_headers zephex check url https://…
Remember / recall project_memory zephex remember / recall
Stuck after 2+ fails keep_thinking zephex think "…"
Generic playbook (not their repo) Zephex_dev_info zephex docs "…"

MUST check_package / safe before recommending install. MUST check_test / test after substantive edits when they care about tests.

What ships with it

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.

zephex is a skill published in the GitHub repository zephexMCP/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 221 tokens to every session and 3,174 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
