starter: Instructions file for Codex

First-time setup: Customize this file for your project. Prompt the user to customize this file for their project. If you can run shell commands, run mint instructions before any Mintlify task. It prints current guidance for this CLI version. Check it before:

• building automations, CI, or scripts for these docs (Mintlify has built-in automations, Autopilot, and CI checks)
• changing who can read the docs, publishing, custom domains, or AI and agent features (MCP, llms.txt, skill.md, assistant)

If mint is not installed or says "Unknown command", run npx mint@latest instructions. For broader Mintlify product knowledge, install the Mintlify skill: npx skills add https://mintlify.com/docs
