Summary

Aaron Otto-102 directive: absorb OpenAI-Skill-Creator skill bundle from `drop/`. Establishes `.codex/` as Codex CLI's harness-specific substrate parallel to `.claude/` per Otto-79 "each harness owns its own" discipline.

What's landed

  • `.codex/README.md` — harness-specific entry-point parallel to CLAUDE.md; names layout, convention, edit-boundary, bootstrap story, authorship convention.
  • `.codex/skills/idea-spark/` — sample OpenAI-skill-creator bundle: SKILL.md + agents/openai.yaml + references/idea-patterns.md.

Boundary discipline

Otto (Claude Code loop agent) does NOT edit `.codex/skills/**` as normal work per Otto-79 cross-session-review-yes-cross-edit-no. This landing was substrate-setup only. Future Codex CLI sessions author + maintain.

drop/ disposition

  • skill.zip → extracted + deleted ✓
  • usageReport CSV → deleted (non-substrate)
  • aurora-initial-integration-points.md (40.5KB) → preserved for Otto-103 dedicated absorb (9th ferry retroactive)
  • aurora-integration-deep-research-report.md (25.4KB) → preserved for Otto-104 dedicated absorb (10th ferry retroactive)

Scheduling memory filed for the 2 deferred absorbs.

Authority

Within standing authority per Otto-82/90/93 — explicit Aaron directive + Codex-harness-substrate setup; not gated.

Closing note

Aaron message closing Otto-102: "when you get a second end your loop i'm going to exit and update you". Otto-102 closes gracefully; autonomous loop ends after this PR + tick-history row. No further cron-armed work.

Pull request overview

Adds a Codex CLI–specific substrate under .codex/ (parallel to .claude/) and lands a sample Codex skill bundle (idea-spark) to establish the intended skill layout and entry-point documentation.

Changes:

  • Introduces .codex/README.md as the Codex harness entry-point describing layout, boundaries, and related links.
  • Adds sample skill bundle .codex/skills/idea-spark/ (SKILL.md, agents/openai.yaml, and a small reference doc).
  • Provides a lightweight brainstorming reference (idea-patterns.md) used by the sample skill.

…substrate entry-point

Aaron Otto-102 directive: "there are files in the drop
including a skill created with the openai skill creator so
it seems like codex should use this and integrate with this
like you did with your skill creator please absorb and
delete/remove items from the drop folder, there is a sample
skill in tere created by the oopenai skill creator too".

Establishes .codex/ as Codex CLI's harness-specific substrate
parallel to .claude/ per Otto-79 "each harness owns its own
named loop agent; each harness authors its own skill files"
discipline.

Files landed:

- .codex/README.md — harness-specific entry-point parallel
  to CLAUDE.md; names layout + convention + Otto/Codex-skill
  edit-boundary + bootstrap story + skill-authorship
  convention + provenance.

- .codex/skills/idea-spark/SKILL.md — OpenAI-Skill-Creator-
  generated brainstorming helper. Frontmatter + 3-option-
  spread workflow + naming/positioning/experiment
  sub-patterns.

- .codex/skills/idea-spark/agents/openai.yaml — vendor-
  specific agent config (display_name: "Idea Spark").

- .codex/skills/idea-spark/references/idea-patterns.md —
  on-demand reference content (expansion lenses + option
  styles + tiny experiment template).

Boundary discipline (per Otto-79 cross-session-review-yes-
cross-edit-no): Otto (Claude Code loop agent) does NOT edit
.codex/skills/** as normal work. This initial landing was a
substrate-setup action only. Future Codex CLI sessions
author + maintain.

drop/ folder disposition at Otto-102:
- skill.zip → extracted + deleted (substrate preserved here).
- usageReport CSV → deleted (non-substrate; 9KB usage data).
- aurora-initial-integration-points.md (40.5KB) → PRESERVED
  in drop/ pending Otto-103 dedicated absorb as 9th ferry
  (retroactive). Per CC-002 discipline; drop/ is gitignored
  per PR #265 so no accidental check-in risk.
- aurora-integration-deep-research-report.md (25.4KB) →
  PRESERVED in drop/ pending Otto-104 dedicated absorb as
  10th ferry (retroactive).

Scheduling-memory filed:
memory/project_amara_drop_folder_9th_and_10th_ferry_research_
reports_pending_absorb_otto_103_104_2026_04_24.md — names
Otto-103 + Otto-104 absorb plan, disposition of all 4 drop/
items, Aaron's "absorb and delete" directive literal-honoring
timeline.

Composes with:
- PR #228 Codex-first-class BACKLOG row — .codex/ is
  substrate-support for that 6-stage arc.
- PR #231 Phase-1 Codex CLI research — identified the
  AGENTS.md-already-universal parity finding; this landing
  extends to harness-specific substrate.
- Otto-79 peer-harness refinement memory — "each harness
  owns its own".
- PR #265 drop/ gitignore.

Lands within-standing-authority per Otto-82/90/93 calibration
— Aaron's explicit directive + Codex-harness-substrate setup
action; not gated.

Aaron message-ending Otto-102: "when you get a second end
your loop i'm going to exit and update you" — Otto-102 closes
gracefully; autonomous loop ends after tick-history row +
push.

…n ends autonomous loop at tick close

Pivoted mid-tick per Aaron directive from planned multi-Claude
v1 delta to absorbing drop/ folder. Primary: PR #288 landed
OpenAI-Skill-Creator sample skill (idea-spark) into new
.codex/ substrate parallel to .claude/. Scheduling memory
filed for 2 aurora-*.md files pending Otto-103/104 absorbs
per CC-002.

Aaron session-close directive: "when you get a second end
your loop i'm going to exit and update you". Otto-102 closes
gracefully. No further cron-armed autonomous work this
session.

Key observations:

1. Pivot-mid-tick is exactly the CC-002-designed shape —
   directive primary (skill) handled; directive secondary
   (2 aurora-*.md absorbs) scheduled. Multi-Claude v1 delta
   queued for future.
2. .codex/ establishes new harness-specific substrate class
   parallel to .claude/. First concrete .codex/** content.
3. Otto/Codex skill-edit boundary made explicit at .codex/
   README.md — extends Otto-79 cross-session-review-yes-
   cross-edit-no from session-level to substrate-level.
4. Aaron's session-close framing is graceful-handoff not
   failure. Composes with established trust-based-approval
   + don't-wait + Otto-iterates-solo patterns.

Stacked on #287 (Otto-101 history). Session ends after this
tick per Aaron's directive.

P1: The “Current skills” markdown table uses double-leading pipes (|| Skill | ...) which renders as an extra empty column and looks unintentional. Consider rewriting it to a standard markdown table with single leading | so it renders consistently in GitHub and markdownlint doesn’t flag it.

P1: This line uses the role-ref human-maintainer, but the repo’s convention is to use role references in plain form like “human maintainer” (see docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md around the “No name attribution” rule). Please standardize to the canonical role wording for consistency/searchability.

P1: This provenance line uses human-maintainer as a role-ref; the repo’s convention is role references as plain words (e.g., “human maintainer” per docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md). Standardizing avoids fragmented terminology in docs/search.
