File contents

Egregore visual-explain Adapter

This is fallback coverage for a long-tail Egregore workflow that has not been ported to a hand-written Codex-native skill yet.

Use the project shell and filesystem directly. Do not invoke Claude Code commands. Translate interactive choices to structured Codex question tooling when it is available; otherwise render compact numbered choices with an Other: option and wait for the user.

Structured UX parity

This workflow has a Claude skill with user-visible structured output. After reading .claude/skills/visual-explain/SKILL.md, reproduce the same visible UX in Codex:

Preserve TUI boxes, markdown tables, rich cards, browser artifact rendering, exact confirmation blocks, and "no preamble" rules from the source skill.
Use the source skill's frame width, section order, labels, status footer, and examples as the contract for the final response.
Never replace a required box/table/card/artifact view with a prose summary unless the user explicitly asks for a summary.
When the source says to output a TUI box directly, paste that box as the visible response, preferably in a text fenced block.
Never show raw JSON, raw command output, or unformatted script output when the source skill requires formatted status or rendered output.

Read .claude/skills/visual-explain/SKILL.md for the workflow details.
Run the referenced bin/ scripts directly from Codex.
Treat graph and publish steps as best-effort unless that workflow explicitly says they are required.
For every external notification, follow .claude/context/notification-consent.md: plan without sending, then show a separate exact Send / Edit / Cancel checkpoint. Never infer notification consent from the workflow request or a batch approval.
Keep local-mode behavior filesystem-first and avoid graph or notification calls when egregore.json declares "mode": "local".
Never call the deprecated egregore-handoff CLI for Egregore project handoffs.
