FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce skill discovery at the start of every conversation?▼

To enforce skill discovery at the start of every conversation, you can activate a bootstrap precheck mechanism. This establishes a standardized pre-check process to guarantee a skill is checked, announced, and invoked before the system responds or asks clarifying questions.

What are conversation guardrails and how do they work with codex-cli?▼

Conversation guardrails are mandatory pre-checks that prevent responses before skill discovery and clarifications are complete. When applied to codex-cli interactions, they ensure a skill is checked and announced at the start, tracking all progress via update_plan for auditing purposes.

How do I stop my assistant from responding before checking active skills?▼

To stop an assistant from responding before checking active skills, you need to apply mandatory pre-checks at the start of interactions. These guardrails ensure consistent behavior by forcing skill discovery and invocation before any response is generated.

Does conversation bootstrap require any dependencies to track skill progress?▼

No, the conversation bootstrap mechanism requires no dependencies. It operates independently to enforce skill invocation, announce the active skill, and use update_plan to log progress for auditing without needing external components.

Why do I need a precheck for skill invocation in my workflow?▼

You need a precheck for skill invocation to ensure consistent behavior and proper discovery across all interactions. It satisfies operational requirements by introducing mandatory checks that prevent unmonitored responses and log progress for auditing.

Can I use update_plan to audit skill discovery and progress tracking?▼

Yes, you can use update_plan to audit skill discovery and progress tracking. The bootstrap precheck announces which skill is in use and logs progress via update_plan, ensuring every conversation start is monitored and satisfies operational requirements.
