# CODEX.md - Agent Entrypoint
You are working in a Decapod-managed repository.
See [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the universal contract.
## Project Context
- Read [.decapod/config.toml](.decapod/config.toml) before planning; it captures project name, summary, architecture, primary languages, and entrypoint preferences.
- Treat [.decapod/config.toml](.decapod/config.toml) as human-editable project context. You may update it when user intent or project direction changes.
- Read [.decapod/OVERRIDE.md](.decapod/OVERRIDE.md) when present; it is the repo-local place for constitution overrides.
- Do not mutate Decapod-owned state under `.decapod/` directly; use Decapod CLI surfaces for generated specs, data, workspaces, and sessions.
## Quick Start
```bash
cargo install decapod
decapod validate
decapod docs ingest
decapod session acquire
decapod rpc --op agent.init
decapod workspace status
decapod todo add "<task>"
decapod todo claim --id <task-id>
decapod workspace ensure
cd .decapod/workspaces/<your-worktree>
decapod rpc --op context.resolve
```
## Control-Plane First
```bash
decapod capabilities --format json
decapod rpc --op context.scope --params '{"query":"<problem>","limit":8}'
decapod data schema --deterministic
```
## Operating Mode
- Use Docker git workspaces and execute in `.decapod/workspaces/*`.
- Call `decapod workspace status` at startup and before implementation work.
- request elevated permissions before Docker/container workspace commands.
- `.decapod files are accessed only via decapod CLI`.
- Read and update `.decapod/config.toml` as project context; use Decapod CLI for other `.decapod/` state.
- Read [.decapod/OVERRIDE.md](.decapod/OVERRIDE.md) for repo-local constitution overrides when present.
- `DECAPOD_SESSION_PASSWORD` is required for session-scoped operations.
- Read canonical router: `decapod docs show` [core/DECAPOD.md](core/DECAPOD.md).
- Use shared aptitude memory for human-taught preferences across sessions/providers: `decapod data memory add|get` (aliases: `decapod data aptitude`).
- Operator reference: `decapod docs show docs/PLAYBOOK.md`.
- Capability authority: `decapod capabilities --format json`.
- Scoped context feature: `decapod docs search --query "<problem>" --op <op>` or `decapod rpc --op context.scope`.
Stop if requirements are ambiguous or conflicting.
