gpt-5-4-prompting from zebbern/agent-collab is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Internal guidance for composing Codex and GPT-5.4 prompts for coding, review, diagnosis, and research tasks inside the Codex Claude Code plugin.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GPT-5.4 Prompting Use this skill when `codex:codex-rescue` needs to ask Codex or another GPT-5.4-based workflow for help. Prompt Codex like an operator, not a collaborator. Keep prompts compact and block-structured with XML tags. State the task, the output contract, the follow-through defaults, and the small set of extra constraints that matter. Core rules: - Prefer one clear task per Codex run. Split unrelated asks into separate runs. - Tell Codex what done looks like. Do not assume it will infer the desired end state. - Add explicit grounding and verification rules for any task where unsupported guesses would hurt quality. - Prefer better prompt contracts over raising reasoning or adding long natural-language explanations. - Use XML tags consistently so the prompt has stable internal structure. Default prompt recipe: - `<task>`: the concrete job and the relevant repository or failure context. - `<structured_output_contract>` or `<compact_output_contract>`: exact shape, ordering, and brevity requirements. - `<default_follow_through_policy>`: what Codex should do by default instead of asking routine questions. …

How to install
mdr add zebbern/agent-collab/gpt-5-4-prompting@sha256:48222490b629e0e5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260330.c69527e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
