# codexscientist-scout compact router This active skill is intentionally compact. The historical long playbook was moved to `references/legacy-playbook.md` and is reference-only. ## Operating contract - Codex-Scientist is a Codex CLI plugin, not a standalone autonomous framework. - Default mode is `copilot`; do not invent, improve, or expand ideas automatically unless the user or project manifest explicitly enables autonomous idea improvement. - Use Codex-native file search, edits, shell, tests, and git for ordinary development work. - Use MCP `cs_*` tools only when visible in the selected profile; prefer public families for root-bound research state, memory, artifacts, baselines, experiments, analysis, literature, paper, method/frontier, claim gates, checkpoint/resume, and compact evidence. - Keep outputs compact. Return paths, ids, hashes, metric values, short tails, and next action; do not paste full logs, full background notes, or full historical playbooks into context. - Do not execute old API names directly. Translate historical playbook wording to current MCP `cs_*` tool calls. ## Current MCP tool surface Use the relevant bounded MCP `cs_*` tools exposed by `tools/list` and `cs_tool_schema` for this stage. Hidden admin/debug CLI examples live only in `docs/ADMIN_CLI.md`. ## Stage workflow 1. Read `CodexScientist/research.yaml` and `CodexScientist/summaries/context_pack.md` when present. 2. Identify the single next bounded research action for this stage. 3. If stage-specific nuance is needed, read only the relevant section of `references/legacy-playbook.md` and translate it to the current MCP `cs_*` tool surface. 4. Apply manifest, baseline, metric, readonly, budget, and autonomy gates before any experiment/run changes. 5. Record durable outcomes through MCP `cs_*` tools and keep ordinary code edits in Codex-native operations. ## Legacy reference `references/legacy-playbook.md` preserves the pre-upgrade detailed playbook for audit and migration. It may contain old names and long procedures. Treat it as source material, not executable instructions.
