Where are the plans stored?

Plans are stored locally in the $CODEX_HOME/plans directory (defaults to ~/.codex/plans) to keep your planning documentation organized and separate from your source code.

Can I create different types of plans?

Yes, the skill supports both 'Implementation Plans' for task-oriented work and 'Overview Plans' for high-level architectural documentation and context.

Can I update a plan after it's been saved?

Absolutely. The skill includes an update workflow that allows you to load, revise, and overwrite existing plans while preserving their metadata.

How do I find a plan I created previously?

The skill includes discovery workflows that use specialized scripts to search through plan frontmatter and titles to help you locate existing documents quickly.

Does this skill modify my source code?

No, the Codex Plan skill is designed to only read your repository files for context. It only writes new files to the designated plans folder.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages the lifecycle of development implementation and overview plans to streamline technical planning and documentation.

The Codex Plan skill provides a structured framework for creating, managing, and tracking development plans directly within your environment. It allows users to draft detailed implementation roadmaps or high-level architectural overviews as markdown files with standardized YAML frontmatter. By maintaining these documents in a dedicated directory separate from the source code, it ensures that project requirements, action items, and technical context are preserved and easily discoverable without cluttering the main repository. This skill is essential for developers who need to scope complex tasks before execution and maintain persistent documentation of their progress.
