What this skill does
Codex Skill Notes Default to minimal, reviewable patches. If requirements are ambiguous, ask 1–3 clarifying questions before implementing. Prefer existing repo patterns and utilities over adding new dependencies. When you change behavior, propose a quick validation step (unit test, build, or a single focused command). Avoid destructive actions unless explicitly requested.
