## Codex harness adaptations

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

- MCP tools: use the MCP servers configured in `~/.codex/config.toml`, or fall back to the referenced repo scripts and CLI entry points.
- `CLAUDE.md` references: Codex reads `AGENTS.md`; treat them as the target repo's agent-context file.

Read and summarize the key points from the full best-practices guide at
`docs/reference/CLAUDE_CODE_BEST_PRACTICES_FULL.md` in the CPP checkout. CPP's
marketplace bundle was retired by issue #662 / ADR 0005; issue #663 restores the
checkout-backed symlink command surface as canonical.

**Note:** For context efficiency, consider using topic-specific skills instead:
- `context-efficiency` - Token optimization
- `session-management` - Session & plan mode
- `mcp-optimization` - MCP best practices
- `hooks-automation` - Hook system
- `spec-driven-dev` - SDD workflow
- `idd-workflow` - Issue-driven dev
- `claude-md-config` - CLAUDE.md tips
- `code-quality` - Quality patterns
- `build-deploy` - Makefile, uv, and deployment patterns

Focus on:
1. **Top Tips from Power Users** - Most impactful practices from experienced users
2. **Skills System** - Activation patterns and best practices
3. **CLAUDE.md Optimization** - Optimized prompts and tips
4. **MCP Best Practices** - Token efficiency and selection
5. **Context-Efficient Architecture** - Progressive disclosure principles
6. **Hooks & Automation** - Hook system and advanced usage
7. **Build, Test & Deploy Patterns** - Makefile integration, uv, and retrospective improvement

Provide a concise overview highlighting the most actionable insights from the community.
