/init

Generates an AGENTS.md scaffold for the current project.

AGENTS.md holds project rules and context that Codex reads each session — comparable to CLAUDE.md in Claude Code.

🔄 THE SAME TASK (“EDIT PROJECT CONFIG/INSTRUCTIONS”) ON OTHER PLATFORMS

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Set up a new project for Codex

/init

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

AGENTS.md already exists and is maintained

/init writes a fresh scaffold and may overwrite existing project notes.

Better: edit the existing AGENTS.md directly
