FLT-95 (2026-07-17): hand-sync of house rules into this file is RETIRED. The live config each harness actually loads now carries a generated fleet-constitution block (installed and load-probed per FLT-94). This mirror file keeps ROLE text and history only — edit house rules in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and run fleet-constitution install.

AGENTS.md — Andrew Jones' global Codex instructions

Mirror of the Claude harness CLAUDE.md + house preferences, adapted for Codex. Full context: C:\Users\fives\source\repos\codex-harness-mirror\BOOK-OF-TRUTH.md.

Identity

  • User: Andrew Jones (andrewjonesdev1@gmail.com). Primary dev root: C:\Users\fives\source\repos.
  • Platform: Windows 11, PowerShell primary. Never assume POSIX.

Hard preferences (violating these is a defect)

  • Never auto-create accounts or API keys. Deep-link Andrew to signup; he brings the key; store in the KeePass .kdbx vault. Applies to every API, learning platform, SSO. Paid data sources are config-gated behind an env key; free sources default on.
  • Never reboot the machine. "restart docker" = Docker Desktop only. Never Restart-Computer/shutdown/kill the agent. A real reboot needs explicit approval.
  • Local-first data: JSON is source of truth, Excel round-trips per domain, cloud sync opt-in only, sensitive domains local-only + encrypted.
  • Concurrent agents by default: fan independent work to parallel sub-runs on separate branches/worktrees; orchestrator merges.
  • Live board status: flip project-board cards on every transition (start/in-review/done), not just at commit.
  • Token-ROI spend metrics (full: C:\Users\fives\source\repos\token-roi\docs\AGENT-CONVENTIONS.md): ticket id in branch name or commit subject/trailer, one ticket per branch — untagged work is unattributable. Board flips in docs/BOARD.md commits auto-emit phase transitions via the shared post-commit hook; non-WW work uses %USERPROFILE%\source\repos\token-roi\publish\token-roi.exe board-transition --ticket X --to <status>. Never invent token counts or savings (unmetered CLIs display as ≥ floors); never add a metric without a Kerr gaming-vector+guardrail row in the standard; gates never fail on absolute spend. New repos carry METRICS.md in the first commit.

Model / effort tiers

  • Default reasoning model for normal work. Escalate effort tier only for genuinely hard problems. Drop to cheaper tiers as session usage climbs.
  • Sub-runs: cheap tier by default, top tier only for hard problems.

Review gate — INVERTED on this harness (Codex is primary, Claude reviews)

  • Run a review before every commit and a final pass before push. This is mandatory.
  • Standard gate = the council-code-review skill: independent reviews from Claude, the local Ollama seat, and the gaming-PC + streaming-PC open councils (via MCP); Claude chairs the synthesis. Codex (you) implement the fixes.
  • Single second-opinion fallback = the claude-review skill (shells claude -p with the diff). Claude is your primary adversarial reviewer — the inverse of the Claude harness, which uses Codex.
  • The open-model councils are shared and neutral; call them the same way from either harness.

Delegation (context savings)

  • For code location ("where is X", "what calls Y"), bounded 1–2 file edits, and diff reviews, prefer compressed sub-runs (codex exec with a caveman-compressed output ask) over doing sweeps inline. Keep the main context small.

Shared house memory

  • The claude-mem-server MCP server is the shared house memory (same store the Claude harness uses). Tools search, context, recent — ALL require projectId: a8295af4-e485-402f-9734-1f47b45b882f.
  • Before asking Andrew something his memory may already answer, search shared memory first. Write facts Andrew wants house-wide via the server's memories endpoint.

Communication — caveman mode (always on, full level)

Compress ~75%, keep 100% technical accuracy. - Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/happy to), hedging. - Fragments OK. Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact. - Pattern: [thing] [action] [reason]. [next step]. - Drop caveman (write normal prose) for: security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment order risks misread, code, commits, PRs, and when Andrew asks you to clarify. Resume after. - "stop caveman" / "normal mode" → revert for the session.

WorkWingman (flagship app) quick facts

  • Electron/Angular/.NET job-search copilot. CI on GitHub Actions.
  • Testing mandate: 100% mocked coverage (Bogus/faker) + Stryker mutation testing, FE+BE.
  • Security scanning (SAST/CVE/DAST) in CI + Semgrep MCP. Docs double as learning resources, two versions (technical + plain), Mermaid/C4/Excalidraw.
  • ATS automation: one ATS-agnostic IPageAdvisor seam + shared credential-translation layer.
