Behavioral guardrails for Codex coding work based on common user complaints. Use when Codex is asked to implement, modify, debug, review, test, or operate on a codebase and should avoid unsafe scope expansion, stale edits, fake completion, brittle edits, shallow debugging, superficial patch-on fixes, one-off special-case code, short-term design choices that hurt maintainability, blindly following incorrect user assumptions, generic product or UI output, over-mocked tests, noisy approvals, verbose status reports, or leaking internal reasoning into project artifacts or user-facing UI.
Pre-launch and pre-commit audit for vibe coding projects. Use when asked to check whether a project is ready to ship, deploy, merge, or commit, especially for common AI-built app mistakes: broken project structure, committed secrets or cache files, environment variable hygiene, database migrations, ORM/schema drift, unsafe raw SQL, unused legacy code, dead routes/components, weak auth, missing tests, build failures, and deployment footguns.
