codex-base contributor guidance
This repository distributes a Codex-only plugin and a Nix Home Manager module. Keep the plugin portable and keep host-specific integration outside this repository.
- Treat
src/improveas the editable Improve source. Generateplugins/codex-base/skillswithnix run .#sync-vendored-skills; never edit generated skills directly. - Before implementation or handoff, read Checks for first-principles verification, impact-based local checks, evidence reuse, and full integration gates. Instruction changes count as behavior changes; a Markdown extension alone does not qualify for prose-only checks.
- Preserve the pinned upstream revisions and inspect every generated diff.
- Never add credentials, user names, host names, absolute home paths, or Nix store paths to distributable files.
- Keep Improve profile strings as compatibility identifiers, but do not add runtime profile files or profile lookup.
- Do not publish, deploy, install into a real home, or update downstream configurations without separate authorization.
