Enterprise Discover
Global Precheck
Before reading further, writing artifacts, delegating, or changing files, run:
enterprise-precheck --skill enterprise-discover
If it exits non-zero, stop and report stderr verbatim. Do not hand-craft packet files or evidence markers to bypass it.
Profile the repository before the rest of the enterprise workflow starts guessing, then generate the repo-local overlay skills that travel with the repo.
Required Approach
Start with an indexed repo lookup if available.
if cortex-engine or an equivalent repo index exists, use it first
if not available, state that and fall back to direct filesystem search
Build committed .codex/enterprise-state/repo-best-practices.json if current primary-source guidance is needed and available.
Build gitignored .codex/enterprise-state/local-machine.json for this computer only.
Ensure gitignored .codex/enterprise-state/agent-sessions/ is the only home for in-flight agent workflow state.
Start or refresh the current agent session with python3 tools/enterprise-skills/enterprise/scripts/agent_session.py ensure ..., then record discover in that session.
Generate or refresh .codex/repo-skills/<repo-family>-enterprise* using scripts/generate_repo_overlay.py.
Validate overlay freshness with scripts/validate_overlay_manifest.py; the manifest must include generator version, generated timestamp, source hashes, and generated skill hashes.
Stage and commit the portable setup artifacts with scripts/commit_portable_state.py.
committed profiles must use relative paths and portable command names only
do not commit usernames, absolute paths, secrets, local interpreter wrappers, or machine-specific install locations
keep machine-only facts in local-machine.json
keep live agent workflow state in gitignored agent-sessions/
setup is not complete until the portable repo artifacts are committed
if a command cannot be verified, mark it unknown instead of inventing one
Codex Rules
Use multi_tool_use.parallel for independent reads.
If web research is needed, prefer official documentation and current primary sources.
Refresh the repo-local overlay whenever the committed profile materially changes.
Treat a stale or missing overlay manifest hash as a fail-closed discover gap.
Commit only the portable setup artifacts by default:
.codex/enterprise-state/repo-profile.json
.codex/enterprise-state/repo-traps.json
.codex/enterprise-state/repo-best-practices.json when present
.codex/repo-skills/
If discover also updated another portable setup file such as .gitignore, include it explicitly with scripts/commit_portable_state.py --extra-path .gitignore.
Never commit .codex/enterprise-state/local-machine.json or .codex/enterprise-state/agent-sessions/.
