What it does
Elisp Reload is an agent skill from dgillis/emacs-codex-ide. Reload one or more Emacs Lisp files from this repository into the running Emacs session with emacsclient --eval. Use this skill when an agent needs live-session validation after editing .el files and the user has asked for reloads.
Its SKILL.md is about 220 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
The repository describes itself as: Codex IDE integration for Emacs. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- An agent needs live-session validation after editing .el files and the user has asked for reloads
Example prompts
- “/elisp-reload”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Pass one or more file paths to ./bin/elisp-reload.sh.
- Prefer absolute or repo-relative .el paths.
- Only use this when live reloading is appropriate; editing files does not imply reload permission.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5eba84d. 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
Elisp Reload loads about 222 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Elisp Reload
Use this skill to load changed Elisp into the running Emacs session.
Workflow
- Pass one or more file paths to
./bin/elisp-reload.sh. - Prefer absolute or repo-relative
.elpaths. - Only use this when live reloading is appropriate; editing files does not imply reload permission.
Notes
- Use the explicit repo-root path above; do not reinterpret it relative to
SKILL.md. - The command resolves repo-relative paths against the repository root.
- With no file arguments, it reloads all root-level
.elfiles in the repository. - It loads files in the order they are provided.
