That Codex one comes from the new `github` plugin, which includes a `github:yeet` skill. There are several ways to disable it: you can disconnect github from codex entirely, or uninstall the plugin, or add this to your config.toml:

    [[skills.config]]
    name = "github:yeet"
    enabled = false

I agree that skill is too opinionated as written, with effects beyond just creating branches.

What's weird is, I never installed any github plugins, or indeed any customization to Codex, other than updating using brew... so I was so confused when this started happening.

If you visit https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/connectors, you're saying you don't have GitHub connected?

Plugins are a new feature as of this past week, so Codex "helpfully" installs the GitHub one automatically if you have GitHub connected.
