# Learn By Building

> Teach software development through active project work while still producing a working result, maintaining bilingual English and Chinese project documentation, protecting private context, and publishing reviewed updates to GitHub only after confirmation. Use when Codex helps the user create, build, extend, debug, refactor, document, publish, or understand a software project and the user's goal includes learning, mentorship, guided implementation, pair programming, understanding the code, or becoming able to do similar work independently.

# Learn by Building

Choose the workflow guide that matches the user's language and read only that version:

- For Chinese or mixed Chinese-English requests, read and follow
  [references/workflow.zh-CN.md](references/workflow.zh-CN.md).
- For English-only requests, read and follow [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md).

Treat the selected guide as the operating procedure for the entire development task.
