What it does

Devcodex Workspace is an agent skill from devcodex-labs/devcodex. Retired compatibility fixture for the former project-local Grok bridge; current workspace installs use grok/plugins/devcodex-workspace.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Intent-driven AI coding workflow runtime for consistent context, skills, approvals, validation, and handoffs across six AI coding hosts. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  2. Walk upward from the current project directory to the nearest unique parent containing .devcodex/layout.json whose mode is…
  3. Read /AGENTS.md as the controlling shared kernel. Treat the project bridge and this Skill only as discovery adapters; they must not…
  4. Resolve the project namespace as the project-root path relative to . Bind runtime state to /.devcodex//; use /.devcodex/workspace/` only…
  5. Apply the kernel's intent-first context gate. Load only the parent Skill files selected by the final route from /.agents/skills//SKILL.md…
  6. Read /.agents/devcodex/instructions.full.md only for the kernel's explicit fail-closed fallback conditions. Never use it as the normal…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1dd4525. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Devcodex Workspace loads about 587 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~587

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

DevCodex Workspace Resolver(retired compatibility fixture)

lifecycleStatus: retired-compatibility-fixture deploymentStatus: MUST NOT be deployed by current workspace descriptors

This file is retained only so historical packages and migration evidence remain readable. Current workspace-namespace installs use the workspace-owned plugin under grok/plugins/devcodex-workspace; child projects must not receive this Skill or a project bridge.

For forensic replay of an old project bridge, the historical resolver contract was:

  1. Preserve the semantic intent seed already formed from the user message and conversation continuity.
  2. Walk upward from the current project directory to the nearest unique parent containing .devcodex/layout.json whose mode is workspace-namespace. That parent is <workspace-root>. Do not search above the first valid marker.
  3. Read <workspace-root>/AGENTS.md as the controlling shared kernel. Treat the project bridge and this Skill only as discovery adapters; they must not override the shared kernel.
  4. Resolve the project namespace as the project-root path relative to <workspace-root>. Bind runtime state to <workspace-root>/.devcodex/<project-namespace>/; use <workspace-root>/.devcodex/workspace/ only for an explicitly workspace-wide task.
  5. Apply the kernel's intent-first context gate. Load only the parent Skill files selected by the final route from <workspace-root>/.agents/skills/<skill-id>/SKILL.md, then load only the Profile or memory sections named by the resulting context plan.
  6. Read <workspace-root>/.agents/devcodex/instructions.full.md only for the kernel's explicit fail-closed fallback conditions. Never use it as the normal startup path.
  7. Before substantive output, satisfy the parent kernel's visible entry-check contract and all applicable confirmation, validation, memory, report, and governance gates.

Fail closed when any of these are ambiguous or missing: workspace marker, shared kernel, project namespace, selected Skill, Profile source, or active-root binding. Report the precise missing path or conflicting candidates; do not invent or silently substitute rules.
