Global AGENTS.MD ledger (not a skill)

Codex can use a single ledger file that applies across projects. It lives at ~/.codex/AGENTS.MD (Codex home directory).

Create it once with npx codex-skills init-ledger.
At the start of each assistant turn, open it and refresh goal, constraints, decisions, and state.
Update it when the goal, constraints, decisions, Done/Now/Next, or key tool outcomes change; keep it short and factual and mark unknowns as UNCONFIRMED.
Include a brief "Ledger Snapshot" in replies (Goal + Now/Next + Open Questions); show the full ledger only when it changes or when asked.

Third-party skills

Some skills in this workspace are sourced from external repositories (for example, steipete/agent-scripts). When copied, each skill folder includes a LICENSE, an ATTRIBUTION.md, and an Attribution section in SKILL.md. Related scripts live in agent-scripts/ and include their own LICENSE/ATTRIBUTION.md.
