Codex Memory

Overview

Use this skill to help a user install or operate the public Codex Memory system. The vault can be shared by Claude Code and Codex: Markdown remains the single fact source, while each host keeps a thin rule and hook adapter. Treat the GitHub repository as the product source, and treat this skill as the Agent-facing runbook for setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Safety Rules

• Never copy a user's real memory vault into a public repository.
• Never commit .env, SQLite databases, Zvec/vector stores, model caches, logs, API keys, cookies, tokens, passwords, private chat logs, customer data, or personal absolute paths.
• When migrating an existing memory system, migrate structure, scripts, and sanitized patterns only.
• Before publishing or pushing, run leak checks and inspect the diff.
• If a task involves deleting files, ask for explicit user permission first and use Trash, not permanent deletion.
• Never point Claude Code auto-memory at the formal vault. Either disable it or treat it as non-authoritative scratch memory.
• Shared cookies and tokens belong in a private config outside the vault and Git, with owner-only permissions; Agents should inject selected values into commands instead of printing the whole file.
