External Resource Context

Purpose

This skill helps Codex discover required external resources, record stable access methods, and reuse recorded context during design, planning, implementation, and review work.

Covered resources include design origin, design system, guidelines, visual verification environment, database schema source, migration history, secret store location, API schema source, mock environment, IaC source, and environment configuration.

Scope Boundaries

In scope: hearing protocol for unclear external resources, storage location, single-source ownership rule, and lookup protocol for known resources.

Freshness handling: record access methods and feature identifiers here. The consuming workflow checks current resource content at use time.
