What it does

Gpt 5 4 Prompting is an agent skill from juanandresgs/claude-ctrl. Internal guidance for composing Codex and GPT-5.4 prompts for coding, review, diagnosis, and research tasks inside the Codex Claude Code plugin

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/codex-prompt-antipatterns.md`, `references/codex-prompt-recipes.md` and `references/prompt-blocks.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: DEPRECATED / UNMAINTAINED — historical reference only. Do not install or rely on this project.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “/gpt-5-4-prompting”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the exact task and scope in .
  2. Choose the smallest output contract that still makes the answer easy to use.
  3. Decide whether Codex should keep going by default or stop for missing high-risk details.
  4. Add verification, grounding, and safety tags only where the task needs them.
  5. Remove redundant instructions before sending the prompt.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dfbdd82. 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

Gpt 5 4 Prompting loads about 911 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 441 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~911
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 441 words (~911 tokens).

“Use this skill when codex:codex-rescue needs to ask Codex or another GPT-5.4-based workflow for help.”
