AC codex-1m-context-window-setup
Configures and verifies an expanded, model-aware context window for OpenAI Codex CLI and Codex Desktop by safely updating the shared base config. Use whenever Codex shows about 258K context, the user asks for 500K or 1M context, auto-compaction happens too often, model_context_window or model_auto_compact_token_limit needs repair, or a workstation/classroom needs the same long-context setup across macOS and Windows. Detects the selected model's live maximum, requests up to 1M tokens, sets compaction to 60% of the attainable window, preserves unrelated TOML, backs up changes, and fails rather than guessing when the model contract cannot be verified.

As a process C 56/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 56/100
- 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. 2 mutating operations with no state check
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 25 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1066 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
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.
