VibeCAD: Instructions file for Codex

Agent Instructions

This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking. Run bd onboard to get started.

Quick Reference

bd ready              # Find available work
bd show <id>          # View issue details
bd update <id> --status in_progress  # Claim work
bd close <id>         # Complete work
bd sync               # Sync with git

Planning

Convert all plans to bd epics/issues with full notes and dependency graphs. When you create a plan file, translate it into:

• An epic for the overall effort
• Individual issues for each task
• Dependencies between issues (bd dep add)
• Full context in issue bodies

Landing the Plane (Session Completion)

When ending a work session, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until git push succeeds.

MANDATORY WORKFLOW:

1. File issues for remaining work - Create issues for anything that needs follow-up
2. Run quality gates (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
3. Update issue status - Close finished work, update in-progress items
4. PUSH TO REMOTE - This is MANDATORY:

   git pull --rebase
   bd sync
   git push
   git status  # MUST show "up to date with origin"
   

5. Clean up - Clear stashes, prune remote branches
6. Verify - All changes committed AND pushed
7. Hand off - Provide context for next session

CRITICAL RULES:

• Work is NOT complete until git push succeeds
• NEVER stop before pushing - that leaves work stranded locally
• NEVER say "ready to push when you are" - YOU must push
• If push fails, resolve and retry until it succeeds

Adding Skills to VibeCAD

Skill Structure

plugins/<plugin-name>/skills/<skill-name>/
├── SKILL.md              # Required: frontmatter + instructions
└── references/           # Optional: detailed docs, examples
    ├── <reference>.md    # Detailed documentation
    └── examples/         # Runnable example scripts

Progressive Disclosure (Critical)

Skills use a three-level loading system:

1. Metadata (name + description in frontmatter) - Always in context
2. SKILL.md body - Loaded when skill triggers
3. references/ - Loaded as needed by Claude
