Adopt or update Codexicon
Use the repository-local manager from a trusted Codexicon source. Keep inspection read-only until the user explicitly authorizes apply.
1. Inspect
Confirm the intended source and target repository roots, then run:
python scripts/codexicon.py inspect TARGET
Report every create, identical, preserve, required-missing, and conflict result. Inspect existing project commands, AGENTS.md, .codex/, skills, CI, Git hooks, and project facts before recommending adoption. Do not treat a missing project-owned file as safe to synthesize automatically.
2. Adopt
Only after the user authorizes repository writes, run:
python scripts/codexicon.py adopt TARGET --apply
The manager copies only absent managed/merge files, preserves conflicts, records baseline hashes in .codexicon.lock.json, and returns nonzero while integration work remains. Resolve conflicts deliberately; never replace real project commands with template stubs.
After the user deliberately stages the adopted files, run python TARGET/scripts/codexicon.py sync-git-modes --root TARGET. It changes only manifest-declared executable bits on already-tracked index entries and refuses untracked paths; this is required for Windows-origin adoptions that will be cloned on POSIX.
Run python TARGET/scripts/codexicon.py doctor --root TARGET, then the target's canonical lint, test, and security commands.
3. Update
From an adopted target, inspect a trusted local release source before apply:
python scripts/codexicon.py update --root TARGET --source SOURCE
python scripts/codexicon.py update --root TARGET --source SOURCE --apply
Apply is explicit and offline. Unchanged baseline files may update or retire; locally modified files remain conflicts. Review changed hooks with /hooks because their trust hash changes.
Do not download releases, commit, push, publish, deploy, or modify external systems unless separately authorized.
