Codex How To v0.3.0 — Living Wiki
Codex How To v0.3.0
Codex How To now includes a review-first Living Wiki and a model-adaptive
engineering skill system.
Highlights
- Living Codex Wiki: compile repeated research into small, interlinked
Markdown evidence pages instead of reconstructing the same context for every
question. - Review-first maintenance: register source authority, preserve conflicts
and uncertainty, lint deterministic structure, and promote stable knowledge
through reviewed changes. - Four wiki operations: query, ingest, lint, and explicitly promote
verified conclusions into modules, skills, repository rules, or checks. - Model-adaptive skills: keep nine installable workflows focused on
decisions, evidence contracts, and failure boundaries that a stronger model
should not guess. - Three-way measurement: compare no-skill, v0.2 full-skill, and current
lean-skill runs while holding the model, reasoning effort, repository
revision, tools, prompt, and done conditions constant. - Clearer presentation: a readable engineering-loop diagram, refreshed
social preview, and tracked community-distribution experiments.
Try the Living Wiki
Ask a read-only question before adding infrastructure:
$maintain-codex-wiki What does this repository know about orchestration
efficiency? Cite wiki pages, separate evidence from recommendation, and do not
modify files.
Run its deterministic health check:
python3 skills/maintain-codex-wiki/scripts/wiki_lint.py .The initial implementation deliberately uses Markdown, repository search, and
Git review. It does not add a database, vector index, MCP server, or autonomous
merge path without evidence that those layers are needed.
Verification
The release gate covers:
- repository structure and local-link validation;
- all 14 measurement and wiki utility tests;
- both dependency-free engineering playground tests;
- six seeded wiki pages and their registered sources;
- wiki metadata, index coverage, and local links; and
- Python compilation for the bundled scripts.
Feedback wanted
Useful contributions include:
- a source that contradicts an existing wiki conclusion;
- a query the index routes poorly;
- an anonymized no-skill/full-skill/lean-skill measurement;
- a workflow step that adds cost without improving quality; or
- a maintained stack, team, or translation fork.
