Start Here

This baseline is optimized for creating a new repo that works well with Codex from day one.

Recommended Setup Order

1. Rename placeholders:

• {{APP_NAME}}
• {{BUNDLE_ID}}
• {{PRICE_TARGET}}
• {{MARKETING_URL}}
• {{SUPPORT_URL}}
• {{PRIVACY_URL}}
• {{GITHUB_REPO_URL}}

2. Read these files before doing any implementation work:

• AGENTS.md
• .codex/WORKFLOW.md
• .codex/ARCHITECTURE_GUARDS.md
• docs/index.md

3. Create your Xcode project and point it at:

• AppModule/
• AppModuleTests/
• AppModuleUITests/

4. Rename AppModule/ to your app module name.

5. Replace the public Pages site copy under docs/site/.

6. Add your first feature docs before writing code.

Baseline Principle

This baseline assumes:

• small, focused app scope
• explicit non-goals
• privacy-first defaults
• release preparation inside the repo
• Codex used as a disciplined multi-role engineering assistant, not an unconstrained coder
