## Codex harness adaptations

Generated from a Claude Code command. Where the procedure references these Claude-only surfaces, adapt as follows:

- `CLAUDE.md` references: Codex reads `AGENTS.md`; treat them as the target repo's agent-context file.

# CLAUDE.md Commands

Audit and manage your project's CLAUDE.md governance directives.

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/claude-md-lint` | Audit CLAUDE.md for CI/CD, Docker, and troubleshooting directives |
| `/claude-md-help` | This help page |

## Why CLAUDE.md Governance Matters

CLAUDE.md is the primary mechanism for directing Claude Code agent behavior. Without explicit CI/CD and troubleshooting directives, agents default to ad-hoc approaches that bypass your project's build pipeline.

`/claude-md-lint` checks that your CLAUDE.md includes:

| Category | What It Checks |
|----------|----------------|
| CI/CD Protocol | Makefile targets referenced for build/test/deploy |
| Troubleshooting Protocol | Directives to fix CI/CD alongside code |
| Quality Gates | `make lint`, `make test`, `make verify` mentioned |
| Docker Conventions | `make docker-*` targets (if Docker files exist) |
| Deployment Protocol | `make deploy` or deployment workflow |
| Available Commands | Makefile targets listed for reference |

## Scoring

| 0-2 / 6 | UNHEALTHY |

## Quick Start

```bash
# Audit your CLAUDE.md
/claude-md-lint

# Fix gaps in your Makefile first
/cicd-check

# Full project health: Makefile + CLAUDE.md
/cicd-check && /claude-md-lint
```
