What is the .codex governance system?

It is a directory-based framework that stores project principles, workflows, and job tracking files in Markdown to provide a consistent source of truth for AI-driven development.

Can the skill modify my project guidelines automatically?

No. The skill follows strict hard rules that prevent editing the project constitution or workflows without explicit user instruction.

When should I use the root skill versus a sub-skill?

Use the root skill for high-level project management and workflow setup; use sub-skills like hikaze-frontend or hikaze-backend for specific code implementation tasks.

What is Conductor migration?

It is a specialized feature that moves legacy project prompts and documentation from the conductor/ directory into the modernized .codex/ structure.

How does the Root skill handle task tracking?

It manages progress through specific job files containing hierarchical checklists, ensuring every phase is completed with quality gates and manual verification.
