Egregore visual-explain Adapter
This is fallback coverage for a long-tail Egregore workflow that has not been
ported to a hand-written Codex-native skill yet.
Use the project shell and filesystem directly. Do not invoke Claude Code
commands. Translate interactive choices to structured Codex question tooling
when it is available; otherwise render compact numbered choices with an
Other: option and wait for the user.
Structured UX parity
This workflow has a Claude skill with user-visible structured output. After
reading .claude/skills/visual-explain/SKILL.md, reproduce the same visible UX in Codex:
- Preserve TUI boxes, markdown tables, rich cards, browser artifact rendering,
exact confirmation blocks, and "no preamble" rules from the source skill.
- Use the source skill's frame width, section order, labels, status footer,
and examples as the contract for the final response.
- Never replace a required box/table/card/artifact view with a prose summary
unless the user explicitly asks for a summary.
- When the source says to output a TUI box directly, paste that box as the
visible response, preferably in a
text fenced block.
- Never show raw JSON, raw command output, or unformatted script output when
the source skill requires formatted status or rendered output.
- Read
.claude/skills/visual-explain/SKILL.md for the workflow details.
- Run the referenced
bin/ scripts directly from Codex.
- Treat graph and publish steps as best-effort unless that workflow explicitly
says they are required.
- For every external notification, follow
.claude/context/notification-consent.md: plan without sending, then show
a separate exact Send / Edit / Cancel checkpoint. Never infer notification
consent from the workflow request or a batch approval.
- Keep local-mode behavior filesystem-first and avoid graph or notification
calls when
egregore.json declares "mode": "local".
- Never call the deprecated
egregore-handoff CLI for Egregore project
handoffs.
