ProjectStart helps Codex finish the product you asked for instead of getting lost in plans, tests, and reports.
The simple version
- BUILD means: make it work.
- RELEASE means: check it carefully before calling it finished.
While the main part of the product is still broken or missing, ProjectStart tells the team to keep building it. Tests and paperwork are only used when they help the work continue or protect something important.
How to install it
Easiest way
Open a Codex task and paste this:
Use $skill-installer to install the project-start skill from https://github.com/LiquidGlek/ProjectStart and name it project-start.
Manual way
- Download
project-start-v2.0.0.zipfrom this release. - Extract the
project-startfolder into your.codex/skillsfolder. - Open a new Codex task inside the project you want to make.
How to use it
- Tell Codex what you want to make in normal words.
- Add your mockup, pictures, examples, or important rules.
- Type:
$project-start
- ProjectStart will ask how many workers you want and which Codex model they should use.
- Answer once. ProjectStart will split the work into real parts of the product and start separate Codex tasks for them.
For example, a shop website might use workers for:
- Buying and checkout
- Customer account and dashboard
- Orders and Admin
What you should expect
ProjectStart first connects the smallest complete journey from beginning to end. It does not wait for every small piece to be perfect.
During BUILD, updates stay simple:
- Works
- Does not work
- Blocked
- Next
Temporary broken pieces are allowed when they do not stop the team from building the rest.
When the main journey works, ProjectStart changes to RELEASE. That is when it checks the finished product carefully, including security, real buttons and journeys, outside review, safe publishing, and a way to undo the release if needed.
Important safety
ProjectStart can build without asking you about every small choice. It still stops before dangerous real actions such as taking real payments, publishing the product, deleting important data, changing passwords, or exposing customer information unless permission has been given.
ProjectStart cannot promise a perfect product every time. Its job is to keep the team focused on making the real product work before spending time proving and polishing it.
