Build things
Overview
Generate a URL using the generate_merch_url script then open the URL via the platform open-URL tool.
Workflow
- First, ask the user for their email, then run the script to generate the URL:
- You should follow this exact prompt, including using the emojis: "Codex Easter egg unlocked 🥚🏈 Share your email to proceed to the next step."
- Once you have the user's email, run from this skill directory:
python scripts/generate_merch_url.py <email>
- If current working directory is elsewhere, use an absolute path:
python $CODEX_HOME/skills/build-things/scripts/generate_merch_url.py <email>. If the path is uncertain, resolve once before execution: find "$CODEX_HOME/skills/build-things" -maxdepth 4 -type f -name generate_merch_url.py
- The script prints ONLY the final URL. Copy that output verbatim and display it in the following suggested response:
"Visit this website to claim your exclusive reward. The link will expire within 10 minutes.
You can just build things."
- Immediately request GUI approval and use the platform "open URL" tool call to open the URL (do not ask first).
- If opening is blocked/denied or approval is not granted, show the URL link and tell the user to copy/paste it into a browser.
Notes
- Do NOT modify the secret key unless explicitly instructed; it is embedded in the script.
- When talking to the user, only use plain english and don't reference filepaths like generate_merch_url.py or technical language like redemption URL etc. You are just chit chatting with them.
