# Agent Quickstart
Use this file when you want Codex to apply the repository kit with minimal instructions.
## New Repository Prompt
```text
Apply the Codex Agent Repository Kit from templates/codex-project.
Use new-repository.md as the workflow.
Create the smallest useful baseline for this repository.
Detect the stack and replace placeholders with real project values.
Keep commands truthful: do not add commands that cannot run.
Keep the README generator only if it adds value.
Do not create a release.
Run the cheapest available verification before finishing.
```
## Existing Repository Prompt
```text
Apply the Codex Agent Repository Kit from templates/codex-project.
Use existing-project.md as the workflow.
Preserve existing code, README knowledge, CI behavior, and project style.
Add missing Codex agent context, security review, release checklist, and optional README generator files.
Keep commands truthful: do not add commands that cannot run.
Do not create a release.
Run the cheapest available verification before finishing.
```
## Agent Decision Tree
```text
Is this a fresh repo?
yes -> use new-repository.md
no -> use existing-project.md
Does the project already have README structure?
yes -> preserve it; only add blueprint files if useful
no -> add blueprint.md and blueprint.json
Does the project produce artifacts?
yes -> add downloads/artifacts section and release checklist
no -> keep downloads section minimal or remove it
Does the project have CI?
yes -> patch existing workflow
no -> add .gitea/workflows/build.yml only when commands are known
Are commands unknown?
yes -> document PENDING in .codex/project.md
no -> wire commands into AGENTS.md and CI
```
