| name | codex-security |
| description | Use when the user asks for Codex Security workflows: repository-wide or scoped-path security scans, security reviews of pull requests, commits, branch diffs, or working-tree patches, deep exhaustive repository scans, fixing validated or plausible security findings, or individual threat-modeling, finding-discovery, validation, and attack-path-analysis phases. |
Codex Security
Use this as the single local entrypoint for Codex Security. Keep the public invocation as $codex-security; the upstream multi-skill workflows are packaged here as internal references.
Route The Request
Choose exactly one mode reference first:
- Repository-wide or scoped-path security scan:
references/modes/security-scan.md
- Pull request, commit, branch diff, working-tree patch, or other Git-backed change-set review:
references/modes/security-diff-scan.md
- Deep, exhaustive, multi-pass, variance-reducing repository-wide scan:
references/modes/deep-security-scan.md
- Fix and verify a validated or plausible security finding:
references/modes/fix-finding.md
For explicit phase-only requests, read only the requested phase reference:
- Threat modeling:
references/phases/threat-model.md
- Finding discovery:
references/phases/finding-discovery.md
- Validation:
references/phases/validation.md
- Attack-path analysis:
references/phases/attack-path-analysis.md
Do not read every mode up front. Load the selected mode, then load phase and supporting references only when that mode requires them.
Shared Resources
Use these local resources when the selected mode asks for them:
- Artifact paths:
references/scan-artifacts.md
- Shared hard rules:
references/shared-hard-rules.md
- Final report format and HTML rendering:
references/final-report.md
- Scoped worklist and candidate ledger rules:
references/scan-artifacts-and-ledger.md
- Worklist helper:
scripts/generate_rank_input.py
- Report validator:
scripts/validate_report_format.py
- HTML renderer:
scripts/render_report_html.py
- HTML template:
assets/report_template_inlined.html
Treat <plugin_dir> in references as this skill directory, skills/codex-security.
Hard Rules
- Keep scan phases separate and in the order required by the selected mode.
- Preserve candidate, file, coverage, validation, and attack-path receipts required by
references/scan-artifacts.md.
- Use the local artifact root from
references/scan-artifacts.md; do not fall back to the upstream /tmp default.
- Do not emit a finding unless it survives the selected workflow's validation, attack-path, and final policy gates.
- When a selected reference conflicts with this file about public skill names or resource paths, this file wins.
