Repo Codex Bootstrap
Use this skill when a repository is missing Codex project scaffolding or its local instructions have drifted.
Workflow
- Inspect the repository before writing anything:
git status --short- top-level files and directories
- existing
.codex/orAGENTS.md
- Infer the repository purpose from local files, not from the directory name alone.
- Add the smallest useful project config:
- usually
approval_policy = "on-request" - usually
sandbox_mode = "workspace-write" - only add extra keys when the repo clearly needs them
- usually
- Write
AGENTS.mdwith repo-specific rules:- what the repo is for
- what not to do here
- how to verify changes in this repo
- Avoid copying a generic wall of text into every repo. A short, accurate repo guide is better than a long template.
- After changes, rerun the narrowest relevant verification commands and report the exact files added or updated.
Team conventions
- Shared team skills live in
/Users/yangshu/Codex/.agents/skills. - Project-level instructions should complement ancestor instructions, not restate them verbatim.
- When a rule applies to every repo, prefer the shared ancestor
AGENTS.md. Use repoAGENTS.mdonly for local specifics.
