repo-codex-bootstrap

To add Codex configuration to an existing repository, run a bootstrap process that inspects git status and top-level files. It infers the repository purpose to apply minimal, targeted defaults like .codex/config.toml and AGENTS.md.

Repository Codex scaffolding provides lightweight Codex defaults and project-specific instructions. It ensures minimal, auditable configuration for your project by generating files like AGENTS.md with repo-specific rules and verification steps to keep changes auditable.

To refresh outdated Codex config files in your project, run a repository bootstrap process. It evaluates your existing Codex files and local context, then rewrites the configuration to ensure your project maintains minimal, targeted defaults and auditable rules.

You do not need to manually write AGENTS.md when setting up Codex defaults. The bootstrap process automatically infers your repository purpose from local context and writes an AGENTS.md file containing repo-specific rules and verification steps.

You should use an automated Codex bootstrap instead of manual configuration when a repository lacks Codex config or requires local, project-specific setup. It ensures repeatable project initialization by applying minimal, auditable configuration without manual file editing.
