Use when Abu wants Codex to create, audit, or update user-level ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, repo AGENTS.md, or nested AGENTS.override.md files. Keeps instructions small, practical, and sourced from the project quality profile, routes detailed workflows to skills, and avoids stuffing research, specs, plans, or full process manuals into AGENTS.md.

Use this skill to create or maintain Codex instruction files.
AGENTS.md is a thin always-on router, not the whole operating system. Put stable behavior, project commands, project conventions, and verification expectations there. Put detailed workflows in skills, deterministic enforcement in hooks/CI, and project artifacts in <repo>/.thoughts/.
~/.codex/AGENTS.md.~/.codex/AGENTS.override.md.<repo>/AGENTS.md.AGENTS.override.md files close to specialized work.Codex loads instructions when a session starts. If files change, start a fresh session before assuming the new instructions are active.

When creating a reusable draft instead of writing the real file, default to:
<repo>/.thoughts/patterns/agents-md-draft.md
If artifact boundaries are unclear, read ../../references/operating-model.md from the plugin root.
