What it does

Fallow Codex Onboarding is an agent skill from fallow-rs/fallow-skills. Set up the Fallow app in Codex after the plugin is installed: check the fallow installation, choose the default analysis scope, run the first analysis, and show the user where the dashboard, the Code Health tab, @Fallow mentions and the config editor are. Use when the user chooses Set up for Fallow in Codex, or asks to onboard or configure the Fallow app. Do not use for setting up lint, format or CI tooling; use fallow-setup for that.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Code quality and Linting and formatting. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills for fallow. They teach coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others) to check health, complexity, duplication, architecture, styling drift, and unused code… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user chooses Set up for Fallow in Codex
  • Asks to onboard
  • Configure the Fallow app
  • Setting up lint

Example prompts

  • “/fallow-codex-onboarding”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check the installation
  2. Choose the defaults
  3. Run the first analysis
  4. Show what the app adds
  5. Offer the next step

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9aed1a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Fallow Codex Onboarding loads about 731 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 386 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~731

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.

description
Set up the Fallow app in Codex after the plugin is installed: check the fallow installation, choose the default analysis scope, run the first analysis, and show the user where the dashboard, the Code Health tab, @Fallow mentions and the config editor are. Use when the user chooses Set up for Fallow in Codex, or asks to onboard or configure the Fallow app. Do not use for setting up lint, format or CI tooling; use fallow-setup for that.

Set up Fallow in Codex

Use the Fallow app tools. Keep each step short. Ask one question at a time.

1. Check the installation

Call fallow_check_install with {}.

  • If it reports a version, continue.
  • If fallow is missing, explain that the app runs the fallow CLI locally and that no code leaves the machine. Offer to install it globally with npm install --global fallow. The sidebar dashboard needs a fallow on PATH, because the app runs a copy inside the project only within the Codex sandbox of a thread. Run the install only after the user agrees. Then call fallow_check_install again.

2. Choose the defaults

Call fallow_settings_read with {}. Ask these questions, one at a time. Skip a question when the user already answered it.

  1. "Analyze the whole project by default, or only the files your branch changed?" Map the whole project to scope: "full" and changed files to scope: "changed".
  2. "Leave tests, stories and dev tooling out of the analysis?" Map yes to production: true.

Call fallow_settings_update with a set object that holds only the changed values, for example {"set":{"scope":"changed"}}. Skip the call when nothing changed. Report the saved values from the tool result. Do not say that a value was saved when the call failed.

3. Run the first analysis

Call fallow_analyze with {}. The user sees the dashboard. In two or three sentences, give the health score, the largest category of findings, and one finding to start with.

If the result says that no project is known, ask the user to open a project folder in this thread, then call fallow_analyze again.

4. Show what the app adds

Tell the user, in a short list:

  • Fallow in the sidebar opens the full dashboard.
  • Code Health opens beside a thread and follows the project of that thread.
  • Type @Fallow in the composer to attach a finding or all findings of a rule.
  • Open .fallowrc.json or .fallowrc.jsonc to edit rules and preview their impact before saving. .sarif files open in a findings viewer.
  • Before a commit, ask Codex to audit the branch.

5. Offer the next step

If the project has no fallow config file (.fallowrc.json, .fallowrc.jsonc, fallow.toml or .fallow.toml), offer the fallow-setup skill to add one and a CI gate. If the user installed the plugin during another task, continue that task in this conversation.
