1. Start here
Orientation for a Codex instance that needs the whole system.
Open Start HereCodex rebuild packet
Build BobNet OS from the ground up
This is the detailed manual for another Codex instance: what BobNet OS is, how the kanban system is structured, what the worker protocol requires, how chat planning must behave, and which tests prove each slice landed.
Read in this order
A rebuild should not start with random code. Start with the product contract, then architecture, then slices, then chat, then acceptance.
2. Product spec
User surfaces, naming rules, safety rules, and target behavior.
Open Spec3. Architecture
SQLite contracts, events, worker result JSON, dispatcher, CLI, API, and MCP.
Open Architecture4. Implementation slices
Step-by-step build phases with testing loops after every slice.
Open Slices5. Chat harness
How the local model proposes board/card workflows without unsafe mutation.
Open Chat Harness6. Acceptance
Final smoke tests, manual checks, and completion report format.
