First-Draft Policy

Do not create the full skill catalog yet. This handbook should first define the architecture, registries, and templates that future skills will use.

Relationship To Docs And Agents

  • Docs explain what is true.
  • AGENTS.md explains how Codex should behave in a repository.
  • Skills explain how Codex should perform a recurring task.
