Lixin2026 d5fe2e6a78 feat(codex): add UI metadata for skills (#175)
* feat(codex): add skill UI metadata

* Use official Trail of Bits logo

* fix: resolve code review findings for PR #175

Codex silently drops the icons as authored: its loader
(codex-rs/core-skills resolve_asset_path) requires icon paths
containing '..' to resolve under <plugin_root>/assets/, and the
repo-root .codex/assets location fails that containment check.
Verified empirically via codex app-server plugin/read: every
iconSmall/iconLarge came back null; only brand_color applied.

P1 fixed:
- Vendor trail-of-bits-mark.svg into plugins/<name>/assets/ for
  all 38 plugins with skills and point every openai.yaml at
  ../../assets/trail-of-bits-mark.svg (the supported plugin-level
  shared asset pattern). Icons now resolve for marketplace
  installs too, since nothing escapes the plugin root.
- Drop the .codex/ additions: .codex/skills/gh-cli/agents/
  openai.yaml resolved nowhere (.codex/skills is not a Codex
  discovery root) and PR #173 removes the whole .codex/ tree

P2 fixed:
- Patch-bump all 38 touched plugins in plugin.json and
  marketplace.json so installed clients pick up the metadata

Verified:
- Static check replicating Codex's resolution algorithm: all 73
  yaml files resolve under their plugin assets/ and exist
- Live codex app-server probe: 71/72 loadable skills report
  resolved iconSmall/iconLarge and brand_color #D83A34
  (claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting fails to load on main due to
  a pre-existing 64-char qualified-name limit, fixed by #173's
  rename; zeroize-audit's manifest mcpServers object is likewise
  a pre-existing Codex incompatibility fixed by #173)
- validate_codex_skills.py, validate_plugin_metadata.py, prek all
  pass

gh-cli

A Claude Code plugin that intercepts GitHub URL fetches and redirects Claude to use the authenticated gh CLI instead.

Problem

Claude Code's WebFetch tool and Bash curl/wget commands don't use the user's GitHub authentication. This means:

  • Private repos: Fetches fail with 404 errors
  • Rate limits: Unauthenticated requests are limited to 60/hour (vs 5,000/hour authenticated)
  • Missing data: Some API responses are incomplete without authentication

Solution

This plugin provides:

  1. PreToolUse hooks that intercept GitHub URL access via WebFetch or curl/wget, and suggest the correct gh CLI command
  2. A gh PATH shim that blocks anti-patterns: API /contents/ fetching and non-session-scoped temp directory clones
  3. A SessionEnd hook that automatically cleans up cloned repositories when the session ends

What Gets Intercepted

Tool Pattern Suggestion
WebFetch github.com/{owner}/{repo} gh repo view owner/repo
WebFetch github.com/.../blob/... gh repo clone + Read
WebFetch github.com/.../tree/... gh repo clone + Read/Glob/Grep
WebFetch api.github.com/repos/.../pulls gh pr list / gh pr view
WebFetch api.github.com/repos/.../issues gh issue list / gh issue view
WebFetch api.github.com/... gh api <endpoint>
WebFetch raw.githubusercontent.com/... gh repo clone + Read
Bash curl https://api.github.com/... gh api <endpoint>
Bash curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/... gh repo clone + Read
Bash wget https://github.com/... gh release download
Bash (shim) gh api repos/.../contents/... gh repo clone + Read
Bash (shim) gh repo clone ... /tmp/... (non-session-scoped) Session-scoped clone path

What Passes Through

  • Non-GitHub URLs (any domain that isn't github.com, api.github.com, raw.githubusercontent.com, or gist.github.com)
  • GitHub Pages sites (*.github.io)
  • Commands already using gh (except anti-patterns blocked by the shim; see table above)
  • Git commands (git clone, git push, etc.)
  • Search commands that mention GitHub URLs (grep, rg, etc.)

Note: When hooks deny blob/tree/raw URLs, the denial message explicitly warns against using gh api to fetch and base64-decode file contents as a fallback — clone the repo instead.

Automatic Cleanup

Cloned repositories are stored in session-scoped temp directories ($TMPDIR/gh-clones-<session-id>/). A SessionEnd hook automatically removes them when the session ends, so there's no manual cleanup needed and concurrent sessions don't interfere with each other.

Prerequisites

  • GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated (gh auth login)
  • If gh is not installed, the hooks pass through without disruption

Installation

/plugin marketplace add trailofbits/skills
/plugin install gh-cli
