What it does

Coding Agent 2 is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Run Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi Coding Agent via background process for programmatic control.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/claude-code.md` and `references/gemini-cli.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with Bash and Git. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/coding-agent-2”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Always use pty:true - coding agents need a terminal!
  2. Respect tool choice - if user asks for Codex, use Codex.
  3. Be patient - don't kill sessions because they're "slow"
  4. Monitor with process:log - check progress without interfering
  5. full-auto for building - auto-approves changes
  6. vanilla for reviewing - no special flags needed
  7. Parallel is OK - run many Codex processes at once for batch work
  8. NEVER start Codex in ~/clawd/ - it'll read your soul docs and get weird ideas about the org chart!
  9. NEVER checkout branches in ~/Projects/moltbot/ - that's the LIVE Moltbot instance!

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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:

    • bash
    • git
    • codex
    • claude
    • gemini
    • gh

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Coding Agent 2 loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 902 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.9k

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 902 words (~3,084 tokens).

“Use bash (with optional background mode) for all coding agent work. Simple and effective.”
