codex-doctor

codex-doctor is a skill for Codex from zjp1997720/zhijian-skills. It costs 149 tokens per session (1,257 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnostic check for a Codex installation and its workspace instructions. Codex is a coding assistant, while workspace context includes rules, skills, tools, and repository state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect Codex, AGENTS.md files, skills, MCP tools, hooks, configuration, Git state, and repository-root hygiene.
Why use it?
It combines installation checks with read-only checks that can reveal missing or duplicated instructions, configuration issues, and an untidy repository context.

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-doctor 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/scan_workspace.py, tests/test_scan_workspace.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.

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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex Doctor

Run a two-layer health check:

  1. Reuse Codex's stable built-in codex doctor --json for installation, config, auth, runtime, Git environment, terminal, app-server, update, and thread-inventory checks. Derive one narrow provider-scope warning when the default provider represents only a small minority of indexed history.
  2. Run the bundled read-only scanner for workspace context governance that the built-in command does not cover.

The scanner gathers deterministic evidence. You make the semantic judgment. This separation matters because a script can prove that text repeats, but it cannot safely decide that a business fact, safety boundary, brand voice, or directory rule is disposable.

Run the check

Resolve the Skill directory from the loaded Skill path, then run:

python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/scan_workspace.py --cwd "$PWD" --compact-json

For a faster workspace-only pass when the built-in report was already run in the same task:

python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/scan_workspace.py --cwd "$PWD" --compact-json --skip-built-in

--compact-json preserves every finding and every built-in check row while omitting large Skill inventories and verbose passing-check details. Use --json only when full deterministic inventory evidence is required.

Do not save the raw built-in report inside the repository. If temporary storage is needed, use /tmp and remove it before finishing.

Interpret findings

Read checks-and-repair-policy.md before proposing any cleanup or repair. Keep severity and confidence separate:

  • S0: proven secret exposure or proven destructive risk
  • S1: broken effective configuration, truncated hard rules, missing enabled executables, or installation/update mismatch
  • S2: exact redundancy, duplicate active names/sources, or a clear project hygiene violation
  • S3: maintenance pressure, stale disabled entries, new-version notice, or oversized descriptions
  • S4: informational, semantic candidate, or evidence gap

Files

What ships with it

7 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.
