codexscientist-idea 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
- Read
CodexScientist/research.yaml and CodexScientist/summaries/context_pack.md when present.
- Identify the single next bounded research action for this stage.
- 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.
- Apply manifest, baseline, metric, readonly, budget, and autonomy gates before any experiment/run changes.
- 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.
