Bootstrap Codex SDLC
Use this skill to establish a Codex-native workflow baseline for a repository.
Goals
- Keep
AGENTS.md concise and current.
- Make the repo's build, test, and ship commands obvious.
- Encode the workflow defaults: solo-first, direct-to-trunk, no force-push, no PR-first flow.
Workflow
- Inspect the repo before asking questions. Detect the primary language, build command, test command, and lint or check command.
- Read any existing
AGENTS.md before writing new guidance.
- Prefer a single managed block rather than spreading instructions across many files.
- Use
plugins/codex-sdlc/scripts/render_agents_md.py for a starter block when useful, then tailor it to the repo.
- Keep deep process detail in this plugin's skills, not in
AGENTS.md.
Required defaults
- Default to one main Codex agent unless the user explicitly wants delegation.
- Prefer direct work toward trunk.
- Run relevant checks before commit or push.
- Do not normalize around PRs, review queues, or force-push.
Done when
- The repo has a concise
AGENTS.md routing block.
- Build, test, lint, and workflow rules are easy to find.
- The instructions match Codex rather than Claude-specific setup.
