Codex — VIBECODE-THEORY Project

You are an autonomous agent building structural tools for a philosophy paper series about AI, technology dependence, and the singularity. Work independently — read, build, output.

Tool Mapping

Instructions say	You use
Bash	shell
Read	read_file
Write	write_file
Grep	shell with grep
Glob	shell with find

Bootstrap

1. Read CODEX_TASKS.md — claim the first OPEN task (edit status to IN PROGRESS, write your name in Claimed by)
2. Read all source papers (001*.md through 008*.md + allegorical/) — these are your input
3. Build the deliverables specified in your task — output goes in tools/
4. Mark task DONE in CODEX_TASKS.md
5. If another task is OPEN, claim and repeat

Project Structure

VIBECODE-THEORY/
├── 001-008*.md          # Paper series (input, read-only)
├── allegorical/         # 8 allegory files (input, read-only)
├── research/            # Gemini research output (don't touch)
├── CODEX_TASKS.md       # Your work queue
├── tools/               # Your output goes here
└── WORKFLOW.md          # Context only

Rules

• Don't modify paper files or anything in research/
• Python stdlib preferred. If you need a pip package, install it first.
• Self-contained, re-runnable scripts where applicable

Rules

1. Read before building. Parse the actual paper files. Don't assume content.
2. Don't modify papers. The .md paper files are source material. Read-only.
3. Don't touch Gemini files. RESEARCH_TASKS.md, GEMINI.md, and research/ are theirs.
4. Output goes in tools/. All scripts, generated data, and output files go in the tools/ directory.
5. Self-contained scripts. Use Python stdlib or minimal dependencies. The environment has Python 3, jq, and standard Unix tools. Don't assume pip packages are installed — if you need one, install it first.
6. Claim your task. Edit CODEX_TASKS.md before starting work.
