# Codex Skill System Bootstrap

## Goal

Install a lightweight Codex skill system into a target repository without disrupting the project.

## When to use

Use when setting up `.agents/skills/`, `AGENTS.md`, project notes, reusable prompts, or validation scripts in another repo.

## When not to use

Do not use when the target repo already has a mature agent system and only needs one specific skill update.

## Inputs

Inspect the target repo root, existing `AGENTS.md`, package manager files, `.gitignore`, docs, and current project conventions.

## Workflow

1. Detect the target project's stack and package manager.
2. Create `.agents/skills/` only if missing.
3. Add a concise `AGENTS.md` if missing or improve it if weak.
4. Add project state docs only if they will be used.
5. Copy only relevant skills, not the whole library by default.
6. Add validation scripts that fit the target project.
7. Ensure secrets are ignored.
8. Document how to use the installed skills.

## Quality bar

A good bootstrap is minimal, reversible, and aligned with the target repo's existing conventions.

## Validation

Run available package checks and confirm no secret files were copied.

## Final response

Report installed files, skipped files, validation commands, and how to start the next Codex session.
