What problem does it solve?
When Codex CLI configurations drift between the project-level authoritative source and user-level deployed files, or when task persistence fails silently, it is hard to tell whether files were never synced, rules never took effect, or the session is stuck in a restricted sandbox. This Skill provides a structured diagnostic workflow that pinpoints the exact gap.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Configuration Sync Audit: Compares project
.codex/ sources against user-level ~/.codex/ and ~/.agents/skills/ deployments, checking managed blocks, manifests, and profile counts.
- Rule Effectiveness Sampling: Uses
codex execpolicy check to verify that allow/prompt/forbidden rules actually behave as expected on sample commands.
- Task State Inspection: Reviews
.codex/tasks/ for active tasks, conflicting in-progress markers, interrupted work, and missing new-feature persistence prerequisites.
- Use Case: After running a sync script, ask for a status check to confirm that rules, instructions, skills, and profiles all landed correctly and that the current project can persist tasks.

Ask the AI to run a Codex status check on the current project to verify configuration sync and task state.
