Codex-native initializer for Evo Talos. Use when the user asks for /sdlc-init, sdlc-init, initialize the SDLC kit, install the kit into the current project, or update the project's AGENTS.md from the plugin. Runs the plugin script, which auto-detects the active agent tool and chooses Codex or Claude project files.

Installation

SDLC Init

Purpose

Codex plugins do not expose Claude-style slash commands from commands/. This skill is the Codex command shim for /sdlc-init.

Use it when the operator asks to initialize or refresh a project with the Evo Talos kit.

Invocation

Treat the user's message after sdlc-init or /sdlc-init as arguments.
Resolve the plugin root from this skill directory:
- this file lives at skills/sdlc-init/SKILL.md;
- the plugin root is two directories up.
Run the helper:

node <plugin-root>/scripts/sdlc-init.cjs <arguments>

Do not rely on CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT in Codex. That variable is for Claude Code slash commands and may not exist in Codex.

Supported Arguments

--target codex - override auto-detection and inject AGENTS.md only.
--target claude - override auto-detection and write CLAUDE.md, .claude/settings.json, and .claude/hooks.
--target both - override auto-detection and write both Codex and Claude instruction targets.
--dry-run - prints planned changes without writing files.
--force-hooks - backs up conflicting Claude hook files under .claude/backups/sdlc-init-<timestamp>/hooks/, then replaces them.
--skip-agents - skip instruction injection.
--skip-settings - skip Claude settings merge.
--skip-hooks - skip Claude hook copy.
--project <path> - initialize a project root other than the current working directory.

Behavior

The helper performs project-local changes only:

Detects the active agent tool from environment signals first, then project markers if needed.
In Codex, injects the plugin contract from rules/CLAUDE.md into the project's AGENTS.md inside a managed block.
In Claude Code, injects CLAUDE.md, merges .claude/settings.json, and copies .claude/hooks.
Warns when existing project instruction headings overlap with plugin sections.
Uses --target only as an explicit override for unusual migration or dual-tool setups.

After the helper exits:

Summarize changed, unchanged, and skipped files.
Relay every WARN and ERROR line.
If the helper exits nonzero, stop and tell the operator which file or conflict needs attention.
Do not rerun with --force-hooks unless the operator explicitly supplied that flag.

Recommended Codex Phrases

Operators can invoke this in Codex with natural prompts such as:

Run sdlc-init
Run sdlc-init --dry-run
Initialize this project with Evo Talos
Refresh AGENTS.md from the Talos plugin

Standardized backend implementation guidance for BE Dev using the SRS-declared Backend-Track and Backend-Framework. Use when coding, refactoring, or reviewing backend web APIs, BFFs, microservices, workers, jobs, or service integrations in TypeScript with Express, TypeScript with NestJS, Python with FastAPI, Java with Spring Boot, .NET Core C#, Pure Golang, Java Core, Golang with Gin, Golang with Fiber, Golang with Echo, or Golang with Kratos; BE Dev reads docs/SRS.md Backend-Track and Backend-Framework plus §3.4.5 Source Layout, then selects the matching reference so routing, layering, contracts, validation, observability, errors, transactions, and tests match the chosen stack.

playwright-author

evolplus/talos

Concrete how-to for QA-Author writing Playwright specs from markdown TCs — project layout, full-state resets for direct-DB fixtures and caches, parallel-worker isolation, contract-aware URL assertions, network mocking, retries, traces, and visual diffs. Consult after `ui-test-execution` when the target surface is web AND the project uses Playwright.

evolplus/talos

QA-Exec run contract for executing authored test cases against the deployed build. Use when QA-Exec is dispatched for a task in-test to gather by-us/by-task test cases, check executable specs and instrumentation coverage, invoke the proper runner, execute UI tiers, validate visual specs, route failures, and write docs/qa-reports/<task-id>.md plus artifacts.

sdlc-loop

evolplus/talos

Codex-native orchestration entrypoint for Evo Talos. Use when the user asks for /sdlc-loop, sdlc-loop, start project, continue the SDLC loop, run the governed workflow, or auto-dispatch eligible SDLC work until the next gate. Acts as the Codex equivalent of the Claude slash command.

Framework-agnostic principles for executing UI tests against the running build — TC-to-spec mapping, selectors, full-state fixture reset across DB/cache/worker state, shared-resource parallelism, determinism, and visual diffs. Consult when QA-Author writes executable specs or QA-Exec invokes a runner against a deployed build.
