Diagnose BB-specific Codex session controls, model acceptance, and durable goals.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Codex Provider is an agent skill from get-bb/bb. Diagnose BB-specific Codex session controls, model acceptance, and durable goals.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 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: The agent IDE that builds itself. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/codex-provider”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53c1e87. 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

Codex Provider loads about 333 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~333

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.

Codex provider

Codex supports structured plan requests, editing and rerunning eligible messages, and compaction through the corresponding core bb thread commands. bb thread clear-goal <id> clears its durable active Goal and waits for provider confirmation. Inspect the thread before recovery actions.

Unlisted model IDs are accepted by this provider; acceptance does not establish account access. Inspect models on the actual execution host with bb provider models codex using the machine or environment selector.

Service tiers are default, fast, and ultrafast. Codex reports the tiers each model accepts for the signed-in account, so the model picker and bb provider models codex (Service tiers column, supportedServiceTiers in --json) list Ultrafast only for eligible models and accounts. Pass the id to --service-tier on bb thread spawn or bb thread tell; bb sends an explicit tier to Codex as given. When the model does not list it, Codex runs the turn at its default tier and the thread shows its warning that the tier "is not advertised as supported" and was omitted.

Use the core CLI skill for command syntax and official Codex guidance for upstream product behavior.
