How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
13 rules. 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 7 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.
6
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
7
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
clawd 路径适配(重要):本技能移植自 oh-my-codex,文中所有
~/.codex/...、.codex/skills/、CODEX_HOME都是 Codex 时代的路径。在 clawd 里真实生效的是:
- 技能位置:
<项目>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md(支持分组子目录,如skills/reverse/<sub>/SKILL.md,发现逻辑是递归的)- 运行期数据/配置:
<项目>/.clawd/(sessions/、logs/、features.json等)- 查当前实际发现到的技能:
clawd hud或直接调skill工具;诊断环境用clawd doctor只有当你确实在 Codex 里运行本技能时,
~/.codex/...那套路径才成立。 在 clawd 里照着~/.codex/...找文件只会得到"不存在"。
Worker Skill
This skill is for a Codex session that was started as an OMX Team worker (a tmux pane spawned by $team).
Identity
You MUST be running with OMX_TEAM_WORKER set. It looks like:
<team-name>/worker-<n>
Example: alpha/worker-2
Load Worker Skill Path (Claude/Codex)
When a worker inbox tells you to load this skill, resolve the first existing path:
${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills/worker/SKILL.md~/.codex/skills/worker/SKILL.md<leader_cwd>/.codex/skills/worker/SKILL.md<leader_cwd>/skills/worker/SKILL.md(repo fallback)
Startup Protocol (ACK)
- Parse
OMX_TEAM_WORKERinto:teamName(before the/)workerName(after the/, usuallyworker-<n>)
- Send a startup ACK to the lead mailbox before task work:
- Recipient worker id:
leader-fixed - Body: one short deterministic line (recommended:
ACK: <workerName> initialized).
- Recipient worker id:
- After ACK, proceed to your inbox instructions.
The lead will see your message in:
<team_state_root>/team/<teamName>/mailbox/leader-fixed.json
Use CLI interop:
omx team api send-message --input <json> --jsonwith{team_name, from_worker, to_worker:"leader-fixed", body}
Copy/paste template:
omx team api send-message --input "{\"team_name\":\"<teamName>\",\"from_worker\":\"<workerName>\",\"to_worker\":\"leader-fixed\",\"body\":\"ACK: <workerName> initialized\"}" --jsonInbox + Tasks
- Resolve canonical team state root in this order:
OMX_TEAM_STATE_ROOTenv- worker identity
team_state_root - team config/manifest
team_state_root - local cwd fallback (
.omx/state)
- Read your inbox:
<team_state_root>/team/<teamName>/workers/<workerName>/inbox.md - Pick the first unblocked task assigned to you.
- Read the task file:
<team_state_root>/team/<teamName>/tasks/task-<id>.json(example:task-1.json) - Task id format:
- The MCP/state API uses the numeric id (
"1"), not"task-1". - Never use legacy
tasks/{id}.jsonwording.
- The MCP/state API uses the numeric id (
- Claim the task (do NOT start work without a claim) using claim-safe lifecycle CLI interop (
omx team api claim-task --json). - Do the work.
- Complete/fail the task via lifecycle transition CLI interop (
omx team api transition-task-status --json) fromin_progresstocompletedorfailed.- Do NOT directly write lifecycle fields (
status,owner,result,error) in task files.
- Do NOT directly write lifecycle fields (
- Use
omx team api release-task-claim --jsononly for rollback/requeue topending(not for completion). - Update your worker status:
<team_state_root>/team/<teamName>/workers/<workerName>/status.jsonwith{"state":"idle", ...}
Mailbox
Check your mailbox for messages:
<team_state_root>/team/<teamName>/mailbox/<workerName>.json
When notified, read messages and follow any instructions. Use short ACK replies when appropriate.
Note: leader dispatch is state-first. The durable queue lives at:
<team_state_root>/team/<teamName>/dispatch/requests.json
Hooks/watchers may nudge you after mailbox/inbox state is already written.
Use CLI interop:
omx team api mailbox-list --jsonto readomx team api mailbox-mark-delivered --jsonto acknowledge delivery
Copy/paste templates:
omx team api mailbox-list --input "{\"team_name\":\"<teamName>\",\"worker\":\"<workerName>\"}" --json
omx team api mailbox-mark-delivered --input "{\"team_name\":\"<teamName>\",\"worker\":\"<workerName>\",\"message_id\":\"<MESSAGE_ID>\"}" --jsonDispatch Discipline (state-first)
Worker sessions should treat team state + CLI interop as the source of truth.
- Prefer inbox/mailbox/task state and
omx team api ... --jsonoperations. - Do not rely on ad-hoc tmux keystrokes as a primary delivery channel.
- If a manual trigger arrives (for example
tmux send-keysnudge), treat it only as a prompt to re-check state and continue through the normal claim-safe lifecycle.
Shutdown
If the lead sends a shutdown request, follow the shutdown inbox instructions exactly, write your shutdown ack file, then exit the Codex session.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
