What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by indigoai-us/hq-core in .claude/skills/convert-codex/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Add Codex-facing files and bridges to an existing HQ that was originally built around Claude Code.

Args: $ARGUMENTS

Default

Run a dry-run unless the user explicitly passes --apply:

bash core/scripts/convert-codex.sh $ARGUMENTS

What It Adds

  • AGENTS.md when missing.
  • .codex/config.toml when missing.
  • .codex/claude bridge to .claude/.
  • .codex/output-style.md bridge to the active .claude/output-styles/ file.
  • .agents/skills exposure for Codex skills (replaces the legacy .codex/prompts.claude/commands/ bridge — commands tree is gone).
  • Missing agents/openai.yaml metadata for existing skills.

Safety Rules

  • Do not overwrite existing files.
  • Do not replace an existing .agents/skills directory with a symlink.
  • If .agents/skills already exists as a real directory, only add missing skill folders.
  • If a requested repair requires changing existing content, stop and ask before proceeding.

Common Runs

Preview:

bash core/scripts/convert-codex.sh --dry-run

Repair current root:

bash core/scripts/convert-codex.sh --apply

Repair another HQ root:

bash core/scripts/convert-codex.sh --root=/path/to/hq --apply
