Codex Skill Pack

Same discipline, native to Codex.

Engineering discipline for Codex CLI — exploration, planning, verification, and blast-radius rules with explicit skill routing and AGENTS.md integration.

Why it exists

Built against the failure modes that make coding agents expensive.

Failure mode

Scope drift

Explicit contracts per task. Ask for 5 things, get 5 — or hear exactly what is blocked and why.

Failure mode

Blind edits

Mandatory exploration and consumer checks before changing anything shared across files.

Failure mode

Context loss

Plans on disk with checkpoint updates every 2-3 edits. Compaction is survivable by default.

Failure mode

Weak verification

Done means typecheck passed, linter is clean, tests run, and the domain checklist is complete.

Native contracts

Built for Codex, not ported.

Every skill is a Codex-native contract designed for AGENTS.md integration. The conductor routes tasks to the right discipline, and each skill enforces its own rules through the Codex sandbox.

Skill routing

Explicit disciplines, not prompt bundles.

Mention lbyl-conductor, lbyl-systematic-debugging, or lbyl-frontend-design by name. The model loads the right contract for the right task, keeping context lean.

Orbit integration

Plans reviewed before execution starts.

Non-trivial work generates masterPlan.md and sends it through Orbit for human review via MCP tools. Implementation begins only after approval.

Skill pack

Disciplines, not a generic prompt bundle.

Core operating layer

Conductor + engineering discipline

The default rails. Exploration, blast-radius checks, no type shortcuts, explicit verification.

  • lbyl-conductor orchestrates the workflow
  • lbyl-engineering-discipline governs how edits are made
  • lbyl-persistent-plans keeps progress recoverable
Behavior change layer

Debugging, TDD, refactoring

Narrower disciplines for specific task types. The system routes to the right one automatically.

  • lbyl-systematic-debugging requires root-cause work
  • lbyl-test-driven-development enforces red/green
  • lbyl-refactoring protects cross-file changes
Interface layer

Frontend and skill authoring

Creative disciplines for building polished interfaces and authoring new reusable skills.

  • lbyl-frontend-design prevents generic UI
  • immersive-frontend handles motion-heavy work
  • lbyl-skill-creator improves or ships new skills
Workflow

A session rhythm that makes the agent legible.

The plugin turns the session into a sequence that can be inspected: explore first, write the plan, execute with the right disciplines, then verify.

1. Discover the real shape of the taskRead files, imports, consumers, and adjacent patterns before implementation begins.
2. Write plan.json and masterPlan.md to diskPersist intent so progress survives compaction. Orbit reviews non-trivial plans.
3. Execute with the right skill activeRoute to the specialized discipline: debugging, TDD, refactoring, frontend, or skill creation.
4. Verify before declaring doneTypecheck, lint, tests, and domain-specific review — completion is earned, not declared.
Install

Install the skill pack and make disciplined execution the default.

One script installs all Codex-native skills plus upstream references. If Orbit is available locally, it also builds and registers the MCP server.

bash scripts/install-codex-skills.sh
Ships with

11+ Codex-native lbyl-* skills, synced upstream references, and optional Orbit MCP integration.

Built for

Teams running Codex CLI that need the agent to plan, verify, and recover — not just generate.
