Scope & Constraints +- Only modify files under version control (flake.nix, home.nix, + configuration.nix, docs/, dotfiles/, bin/). +- The `.codex/` directory is git-ignored and reserved for agent workspace and + dynamic planning files (plans, logs, etc.). +- Follow existing style guidelines and do not introduce external dependencies. +- Use flakes, support multi-system outputs, and preserve backward compatibility. + +## 3. Coding & Commit Conventions +- Indentation: 2 spaces, no tabs, max 80 chars per line. +- Nix formatting: run `nix fmt` before committing. +- Shell scripts: `set -euo pipefail`, proper shebangs, lint with `shellcheck`. +- Commits: Conventional Commits with lower-case header ≤ 50 chars, body ≤ 72. + +## 4. Deliverables & Milestones +- Add README.md with project overview and bootstrap instructions. +- Configure CI (flake checks, formatting) and update CI workflows. +- Modularize `home.nix` and `configuration.nix` into smaller modules. +- Create `.codex/` workspace and dynamic planning files. +- Add CHANGELOG.md and integrate dotfiles into Home Manager modules. + +## 5. Additional Context +- See docs/CODE_REVIEW.md for a prioritized action plan and code review. +- Use docs/ai-tasks.md for the AI backlog of future tasks. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 4db0a21..6a1562c 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -10,5 +10,7 @@ *.devcontainer # Codex session state (keep private) +# Codex CLI agent workspace and sessions (keep private) sessions/*.json +.codex/ diff --git a/codex.md b/codex.md index dc435d9..810bd39 100644 --- a/codex.md +++ b/codex.md @@ -17,6 +17,20 @@ function calls only, as this may impair your ability to solve the problem and think insightfully. +## 🏗️ Agentic Workflow + +Introduce a top-level `.codex/` workspace for agent state, including: +- A high-level `requirements.md` file outlining goals, conventions, and scope. +- Dated planning files (e.g., `.codex/plan_YYYY-MM-DD.md`) to track milestones. +- Changelog entries in `CHANGELOG.md` for significant completed work. + +## ⚙️ Modes of interaction + +- **Interactive mode:** propose each milestone or change and await your + approval before proceeding. +- **Full-auto mode:** execute the whole plan without pausing, then summarize + all work for your review. + ## 📚 Project Overview This repository contains Nix flakes for configuring: From 1ec4393b067ce18647698a92a73396719647ca2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammed Alrefai Date: Thu, 29 May 2025 21:47:34 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 9/9] docs: add changelog template --- CHANGELOG.md | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) create mode 100644 CHANGELOG.md diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b298598 --- /dev/null +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +# Changelog + +All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. + +## [Unreleased] +- \ No newline at end of file
