codex-cli-model-bridge

codex-cli-model-bridge is a skill for Codex from zjp1997720/zhijian-skills. It costs 142 tokens per session (3,973 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A management tool for adding and diagnosing third-party models in Codex through a local proxy. A proxy is an intermediary that forwards requests between an application and model services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install, audit, repair, upgrade, remove, or restore custom Codex model providers and catalogs backed by CLIProxyAPI or Codex Router.
Why use it?
It keeps Codex's provider and subscription setup intact while making verified additional models available through the model picker.

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-cli-model-bridge scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/bridge.py, scripts/transparent_proxy.mjs, tests/test_bridge.py), 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.

Reads agent configuration directorieslowAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- Codex CLI version, `~/.codex/config.toml`, file permissions, and TOML validity

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

Codex CLI Model Bridge

Manage subscription-backed or local proxy models in Codex without treating Codex like WorkBuddy. Codex uses a Responses API Provider plus a model catalog; WorkBuddy uses independent JSON entries. Share CLIProxyAPI infrastructure and verified Provider facts, but keep each application's writer and state separate.

Codex selects one model_provider for a task. Model catalog entries do not carry per-model Provider routing. Preserve the Provider identity that owns the majority of indexed task history (normally openai). For normal Desktop use, the supported bridge design keeps model_provider = "openai", keeps ChatGPT subscription auth intact, and points the built-in Provider's openai_base_url at an owner-only loopback header-rewriting proxy. CLIProxyAPI then routes native GPT subscription models and verified third-party models behind one catalog without changing the task Provider identity. Keep the isolated $CODEX_HOME/cli-proxy.config.toml profile as the default path on Windows and as a fallback everywhere else.

This is transparent single-Provider routing, not per-model Provider routing. Never set the Desktop default to cli_proxy or vendor ZAI when most history belongs to openai.

When the user wants GLM-5.3 from a Coding Plan key, read glm-coding-plan.md. If Desktop already uses Codex Router on port 4202, add zai-coding there and keep the OpenAI Provider identity. Do not run npx @z_ai/coding-helper.

On Windows, start with the isolated profile. Read windows.md. Do not require Homebrew, LaunchAgents, or Codex Router.

Resolve the Skill directory

Resolve this loaded Skill's directory as <skill-dir>. Resolve <python> as the first available of python3, py -3, and python. Use the deterministic entry point:

<python> <skill-dir>/scripts/bridge.py

Examples below use python3. Substitute <python> when that command is missing.

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.
