Read Instructions
Workflow
- Locate
codex_doc/instructions.mdrelative to the current workspace or repository root. - Read the file before making task decisions or edits.
- Treat the file as repository-specific operating instructions for the current request.
- Follow those instructions while still obeying higher-priority system, developer, and user instructions.
- If the file is missing or unreadable, state that clearly and continue with the best available repository context.
Scope
This skill does not add independent project requirements. It exists to force early loading of the repository instruction file so subsequent work can conform to it.
