What is the primary purpose of the codex-rules skill?

It enforces repository discipline, ensuring small PRs, preventing manual edits to vendored files, and managing formal handoffs between AI agents for complex tasks.

How does it handle vendored contracts?

The skill strictly prohibits hand-editing vendored contracts, requiring developers to use sync scripts and drift gates to maintain code origin integrity.

When does this skill trigger a Claude Code run?

It mandates a Claude Code proposal for repo-wide dependency mapping, independent audits, or when large-context synthesis from long documents is required.

What is included in a Claude Work Order?

A work order includes the goal, allowed file paths, hard constraints (like no churn), verification commands, and a summary of the expected deliverable.

Collaboration Tools

Enforces repository execution discipline through small PRs, automated migration testing, and structured AI agent handoff protocols.

The codex-rules skill streamlines repository management by mandating strict development disciplines, such as keeping Pull Requests small and preventing manual edits to vendored contracts. It introduces a sophisticated handoff protocol between Codex and Claude Code, ensuring that complex tasks like repo-wide dependency mapping or large-scale audits are handled with explicit work orders, clear acceptance criteria, and documented risk management. This skill is essential for teams using multi-agent AI workflows who need to maintain high code integrity, auditability, and consistent execution patterns across large monorepos.

Key Features

01Enforces small, auditable Pull Requests to prevent scope creep and drive-by refactors.

02Facilitates structured handoffs between AI agents using paste-ready work orders and goals.

030 GitHub stars

04Automates invariant and plumbing verification using canonical migration-smoke tests.

05Protects vendored contracts from manual edits by enforcing sync scripts and drift gates.

06Mandates artifact documentation for large-context synthesis and independent compliance audits.

Use Cases

01Coordinating large-scale mechanical refactors across multiple files using AI agent handoffs.

02Managing complex monorepo migrations with strict invariant and plumbing verification.

03Ensuring compliance and auditability in repositories containing sensitive legal or financial logic.
