High

## Key Claims

- Codex works through model calls, file reads, file edits, and tool calls until completion or cancellation.
- Prompts improve when they include reproduction steps, validation steps, linting, and checks.
- Parallel threads should not modify the same files at the same time.

## Caveats

- Goal mode, plan mode, and thread behavior are Codex-specific.

## Workflow Implications

- The kit treats each agent session as a bounded unit of work.
- Parallel exploration is read-only by default or isolated by worktree.
- Verification instructions are included in task briefs and review packets.

## Where the Source Is Used in the Repo

- `docs/human-agent-contract.md`
- `workflows/parallel-exploration.md`

when to use it

Community prompt sourced from the open-source GitHub repo 2Ntlaks/ai-native-workflow-kit (MIT). A "Openai Codex Prompting" style prompt — adapt the placeholders and specifics to your task. Imported as-is and not independently retested here, so check the output before relying on it.
