Caveat verdict
codex-skill
Receives external input AND executes processes
Manages OpenAI Codex CLI as a coding agent for implementing features; the --dangerously-bypass-approvals flag is documented as safe for container/VM environments, and the skill transparently documents all flags including their risk levels.
Automated static analysis โ not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
What it does
These are capability combinations: each listed behavior occurs in the skill, but Caveat detects co-occurrence โ it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.
