Ix Tutorial

Do not run ix commands, read files, or inspect the repo. This skill is usage guidance only.

Goal

Explain how to use the Ix Memory plugin inside Codex in the way Codex currently supports:

• $-prefixed skill invocation
• plain-language task text after the skill name
• raw ix commands only for exact lookups

Be explicit that local Codex plugins may not expose reliable slash-command popups or /skill autocomplete. Prefer $ix-* prompts the user can paste directly into chat.

Output

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, return a short tutorial with:

• one sentence on what the plugin does
• one sentence saying Codex skills are invoked with $skill-name
• one sentence saying users can add plain-language task text after the skill name
• one sentence saying raw ix commands are best for exact symbol/file lookups
• 5-7 example prompts

Use this example set, adapted only if the user asked for a narrower topic:

• $ix-help how does the auth subsystem work?
• $ix-understand this repo
• $ix-investigate IxClient
• $ix-impact Ix/ix-cli/src/client/api.ts
• $ix-plan session_start.py common.py
• $ix-debug ContextService query flow
• Run ix locate IxClient --format llm.

If $ARGUMENTS is non-empty, tailor the tutorial to that workflow. Keep it concise:

• answer the user's usage question directly
• recommend the best starting skill or raw command
• give 2-4 copy-paste example prompts

If the user asks about slash commands, say they are not the reliable primary UX for this local plugin setup and $skill-name prompts are the recommended path.
