penguin-connect

Blueprint for extending PenguinConnect beyond the current Apple Messages adapter by reusing and generalizing the bridge architecture. Use when Codex is planning or implementing WhatsApp, Telegram, or other messaging-channel integrations; extracting provider adapters; changing schema for multi-provider support; or mapping tests, sync flows, and ops scripts from the existing Apple Messages implementation onto a new provider.

Open source contribution standards for PenguinConnect, including commit and pull request hygiene plus repo-specific Apple Messages and Gmail privacy/runtime expectations. Use when Codex is making or reviewing code changes, planning fixes, writing commit messages, preparing pull requests or issue updates, or checking whether a change follows maintainable open source practices. Especially useful before commits, refactors, bug fixes, docs updates, and release-facing changes in this repo.
