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

1. Inspect the repo before asking questions. Detect the primary language, build command, test command, and lint or check command.
2. Read any existing AGENTS.md before writing new guidance.
3. Prefer a single managed block rather than spreading instructions across many files.
4. Use plugins/codex-sdlc/scripts/render_agents_md.py for a starter block when useful, then tailor it to the repo.
5. 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.
