keep-codex-fast

Use when Codex feels slow or bloated, when local sessions/logs/worktrees/config have grown over time, or when a user wants safe maintenance for Codex Desktop/CLI state. Provides a read-only report by default, backs up before applying changes, archives instead of deleting, normalizes Windows extended paths, prunes dead config projects, rotates large logs, and moves stale worktrees.

# Keep Codex Fast

Use this skill to inspect and safely maintain local Codex state. The goal is to reduce local drag without surprising the user or losing continuity.

Primary principle: preserve continuity before applying changes. For active repo chats the user may continue, recommend a comprehensive handoff document and reactivation prompt before archiving anything.

## Safety Rules

- Inspect before mutating.
- The first run must be report-only. Report mode must not write files, create backups, move folders, or change local Codex state.
- Back up before applying changes. Use `--backup-only` when the user wants backups without moving or changing local state.
- Archive or move files instead of deleting them. Do not permanently delete user chats, logs, worktrees, memories, skills, plugins, or automations.
- Write manifests and restore scripts when sessions/worktrees are moved.
- If Codex is running, default to report-only. Apply changes only after Codex is closed or when the user explicitly accepts waiting for Codex to exit.
