Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill facilitates the installation of the
@openai/codexpackage using the npm package manager and thecodexcask via Homebrew. These are standard procedures for deploying developer tools from established registries. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The instructions identify an indirect prompt injection surface related to the CLI tool's ability to process project-specific instructions from an
AGENTS.mdfile. - Ingestion points: The
AGENTS.mdfile located at the project root is read by the CLI at the start of every session. - Boundary markers: The skill documentation does not define specific delimiters or instructions for the agent to ignore potentially malicious embedded content within the
AGENTS.mdfile. - Capability inventory: The CLI tool is capable of executing shell commands (e.g.,
npm run build,npm test,codex exec) and initiating network connections for authentication and MCP server communication. - Sanitization: The skill instructions do not include steps for sanitizing, validating, or escaping the content retrieved from the
AGENTS.mdfile before it influences agent behavior.
