BC read-codex-history
Reads, searches and exports local OpenAI Codex history without continuing work: session inventory, timelines, verbatim user input, indexed search, and rollout identity/fork lineage. Use when the user asks what they told Codex, wants a Session ID, or evidence of what a run did. Not for Claude Code (use read-claude-code-history); with no platform named, start at local-conversation-history.

As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 7123 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 83, 433, 438): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 7 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 7123 tokens
- 100Steps. 37 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low The response is described with custom markup (3 tags): a typed call is more reliable
- medium 6 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"
- low No test case covers injection arriving through data
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +4Description says when NOT to use the skill
- +3Description length 390: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 22 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 37 items
- +4Has examples (11 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (6 of 6)
- +3All 7 scripts are documented
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 85.
