chock-codex-plugins

Chock policies as Codex plugins — a real PreToolUse deny hook, held untrusted until you approve it.

An agent you're running can already touch your shell, your git history, and your CI config. You want it to move fast without being the reason a stray helm uninstall actually happens. Telling it to be careful in a prompt is not a guarantee; a plugin that can refuse the command is closer to one — a matched destructive command is denied before it runs, witnessed on a real Codex Desktop install (Windows, 2026-08-24).

Codex makes you approve this first. Codex installs every hook UNTRUSTED. Until you open a plugin's page and approve its hook ("needs review before it can run" → Trust), the plugin is advisory text only — the trust is bound to a hash of the hook command, so an update silently voids it. Any hook failure (missing python3, timeout) fails open: Codex allows it.

Install

Codex reads this repository as a git marketplace, the same mechanism as its Plugins UI:

# ~/.codex/config.toml
[marketplaces.chock-codex]
source_type = "git"
source = "https://github.com/open-coder-ai/chock-codex-plugins.git"

Then install plugins from the chock-codex marketplace in the Plugins UI, and approve each guard's hook trust review.

What you get

See PLUGINS.md for the full list: each policy, its version, and whether it enforces or advises in this client. A plugin governs one session; it doesn't run in CI or travel with a clone. For enforcement that follows the repository, with no trust toggle to forget, install Chock directly: pip install chock && chock init && chock sync --ci.

Generated from chock-catalog

Every file here is compiled from policy sources in chock-catalog by chock. Pull requests against this repository are closed automatically — open them against the catalog instead.

• Generated only: CI regenerates from the pinned catalog and fails on any difference.
• Byte-identical guards: guard scripts and the hook adapter are verbatim copies of their framework sources.
• Best-effort, not a boundary: guards are pattern-based filters; see SECURITY.md.
• Tested upstream, and gated: every policy ships an eval suite (base/<policy>/evals/suite.yaml) in the catalog, and the publish workflow runs chock check and chock check --only evals before packaging anything — a policy whose evals fail cannot reach this repository. The tests live in the catalog because the policy source does; this repository is compiled output.
• This README is the exception: the one hand-written file here, outside the guarantee.

Verify it yourself

Nothing above asks for trust that cannot be checked. This rebuilds the published tree from source and compares it with what is committed here:

git clone https://github.com/open-coder-ai/chock-codex-plugins dist
git clone --branch v0.7.0 https://github.com/open-coder-ai/chock framework
git clone https://github.com/open-coder-ai/chock-catalog catalog
pip install ./framework
chock plugin build --repo catalog --policies-dir base --format codex --out-dir dist
chock marketplace build --dist dist --tree codex
git -C dist diff --exit-code && git -C dist status --porcelain

Silence from both git commands means this repository is byte-identical to a fresh build from the catalog. --branch v0.7.0 is the framework release this tree was published from. chock-market.lock records a sha256 per published plugin directory, so one package can be checked without rebuilding the rest.

If you are listing these plugins in a marketplace, pin both a tag and the full commit SHA. The tag names the release; the SHA is what holds the reviewed bytes still.
