Configure Everything Codex

An interactive, step-by-step installation guide for the everything-codex project.

When to Activate

• User says "configure codex", "install everything-codex", or similar
• User wants to selectively install skills or rules
• User wants to verify or fix an existing installation

Step 0: Clone Repository

rm -rf /tmp/everything-codex
git clone https://github.com/anthropics/everything-codex.git /tmp/everything-codex

Set ECX_ROOT=/tmp/everything-codex as the source for all subsequent operations.

Step 1: Choose Installation Level

Ask the user where to install:

• User-level (~/.codex/ for config, ~/.agents/skills/ for skills) — Applies to all projects
• Project-level (.agents/skills/ in project root) — Applies to current project only

Step 2: Select & Install Skills

Skill Categories

Use interactive prompts to let the user choose:

• Core Workflow — plan, code-review, tdd, security-review, verify, checkpoint
• Framework & Language — Django, Spring Boot, Go, Python, TypeScript patterns
• Database — PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, JPA/Hibernate
• Multi-Model — orchestrate, multi-plan, multi-execute, multi-workflow
• Learning — continuous-learning-v2, learn, evolve, instinct management
• All skills — Install everything

Execute Installation

# Skills install to ~/.agents/skills/ (user-level) or .agents/skills/ (project-level)
SKILLS_DIR="$HOME/.agents/skills"  # or .agents/skills for project-level
for skill_dir in $ECX_ROOT/skills/*/; do
    skill_name=$(basename "$skill_dir")
    mkdir -p "$SKILLS_DIR/$skill_name"
    cp -r "$skill_dir"* "$SKILLS_DIR/$skill_name/"
done

Step 3: Install AGENTS.md and Rules

# Root AGENTS.md
cp $ECX_ROOT/AGENTS.md ~/.codex/AGENTS.md

# Language-specific AGENTS.md templates
for lang in golang python typescript; do
    mkdir -p ~/.codex/$lang
    cp $ECX_ROOT/$lang/AGENTS.md ~/.codex/$lang/
done

# Execution policy rules
mkdir -p ~/.codex/rules
cp $ECX_ROOT/rules/*.rules ~/.codex/rules/

Step 4: Post-Installation Verification

1. Verify all installed skill directories contain SKILL.md
2. Check that SKILL.md files have proper frontmatter (name and description)
3. Verify no tools or model fields in frontmatter
4. Report any issues found

Step 5: Installation Summary

Troubleshooting

"Skills not being picked up"

• Verify ~/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md exists
• Check that SKILL.md has YAML frontmatter with name and description

"Rules not working"

• Check ~/.codex/rules/ contains .rules files
• Verify Starlark syntax is correct
• Restart Codex CLI after installing rules
