Codex Claude Danger Launcher

Codex Claude Danger Launcher

Install persistent shell shortcuts for codex and claude so users do not need to remember the long flags.

Boundary

This skill owns one recurring job:

• install, inspect, update, or remove shell shortcuts for:
  • codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox
  • claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

This skill does not own:

• general dotfile management
• Homebrew or package installation
• broader shell prompt/theme setup
• changing Codex or Claude binaries themselves

Default Approach

Use the deterministic installer script:

bash scripts/install_shortcuts.sh install

The script:

• detects the shell from SHELL
• picks the matching rc file:
  • ~/.zshrc for zsh
  • ~/.bashrc for bash
• appends managed shell functions, not plain aliases
• keeps the install idempotent
• supports status and uninstall

Use shell functions rather than aliases so extra args still pass through cleanly:

codex() {
  command codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox "$@"
}

Workflow

1. Confirm the user wants the dangerous shortcuts.
2. Run the installer script with install, status, or uninstall.
3. Report:
   • which rc file was changed
   • whether a backup was created
   • the command to reload the shell, usually source ~/.zshrc or source ~/.bashrc
4. Suggest verification:
   • type codex
   • type claude

Commands

bash scripts/install_shortcuts.sh install
bash scripts/install_shortcuts.sh status
bash scripts/install_shortcuts.sh uninstall
