Conducty Codex

Use this skill to run Conducty's loop inside Codex: Shape -> Plan -> Trace -> Execute -> Verify -> Improve -> Code Review -> Ship.

Default Moves

1. Resolve the vault with resolve_vault; if it does not exist, call bootstrap_vault.
2. Shape the request: goal, appetite, no-go zones, acceptance criteria, verification.
3. Check prompt quality with check_prompt_smells before writing or dispatching prompts.
4. Create a plan with create_plan. Every plan needs a tracer and a verification command.
5. Execute the tracer first. If it fails, revise the plan before broader execution.
6. Log each prompt result with log_prompt_outcome.
7. Record group health with record_checkpoint.
8. Record learning with record_improvement when the plan ends or a failure pattern appears.
9. Create a pre-merge ship report with create_ship_report when verification evidence and residual risks are known.
10. Audit the vault with audit_vault_graph when notes, links, or closure signals need a health check.

Codex Boundaries

• Keep critical-path implementation local unless the user explicitly asks for subagents, delegation, or parallel agent work.
• Use parallel agents only for independent work with disjoint write scopes.
• Treat time budgets as circuit breakers: when work exceeds appetite, stop and reshape.
• Preserve exact commands, file paths, acceptance criteria, no-go zones, and error strings.
• Run the smallest meaningful verification before claiming completion.

Prompt Shape

Use compact prompts:

P1 - Add date helper
Context: src/date.ts, tests/date.test.ts
Accept: ISO input formats unchanged; invalid input returns null.
No-go: no timezone library swap; no API rename.
Verify: pnpm test tests/date.test.ts
Budget: 25m
Review: verify-only
Tracer: yes

MCP Tools

• resolve_vault: show active vault path and whether it exists.
• bootstrap_vault: create Conducty vault indexes, accumulators, and note folders.
• get_cycle: return the operating loop and phase routing.
• check_prompt_smells: find missing acceptance, context, verification, no-go zones, and mixed concerns.
• create_plan: write a timestamped plan note and update Plans Index.
• list_recent_notes: list recent plans, improvements, code reviews, ship reports, or accumulator notes.
• log_prompt_outcome: prepend a terse entry to Prompt Log.
• record_checkpoint: append group health metrics to the plan note.
• record_improvement: write an improvement kata note and update Improvements Index.
• create_ship_report: write a green/yellow/red pre-merge verdict with verification evidence and residual risks.
• audit_vault_graph: report broken wikilinks, duplicate basenames, orphan user notes, plans without ship reports, and plans without checkpoints.
