Previously managed files no longer shipped are backed up and removed if unchanged. If locally modified, they are
backed up and retained with a warning. Backups are stored under `backups/<timestamp>/` in each destination.
Local Codex `model`, `model_reasoning_effort`, `plugins`, and `marketplaces` settings are preserved when syncing `config.toml`;
other local settings are not generally merged. Dry runs still rebuild `generated/`, but do not modify installation destinations.
Codex skill backups use `.agents/.ai-config-skill-backups/` instead, so Codex does not discover backup copies as skills.
Existing `.agents/skills/backups/` content is moved there on the next install, update, or uninstall.
Codex `config.toml` synchronization merges setup-owned keys while retaining other root keys, extra fields in managed
tables, plugin and marketplace tables, and unowned array tables. Other standalone tables may be dropped; the previous
file is backed up when content changes. Claude `settings.json` synchronization retains unrelated settings and hooks.
Dry runs still rebuild `generated/`, but do not modify installation destinations.
Selecting Codex also installs shared skills to `.agents/skills`. An interactive extension list includes plugins and
Codex skills; unchecked extensions are skipped on installation. Normal install and update ask whether to enable
Flashbang, apply the custom status line, and enable Qwen3 semantic retrieval. Choices are saved for Quickupdate.
The shared skill catalog includes development skills and focused writing, image, site structure, psychology, and
conversion skills. All retained skills are included in both generated clients.
The status line defaults to enabled to preserve existing behavior. Disabling it removes the custom client setting and,
for Claude, the setup-owned status line script. Disabling retrieval on update removes its setup-owned runtime and index.
Dry runs preview changes without updating extensions or retrieval. See [Plugins](docs/plugins.md) for client-specific behavior.

Codex and Claude Code receive the same shared rules, skills, agents, hooks, and status data. Codex loads applicable rules from generated files, while Claude Code exposes technology- and situation-specific rules as generated skills.
The default configuration keeps writes workspace-scoped and enables automatic review for eligible escalation requests. Both clients include the same logical agent roles and compact status displays. See [Configuration](docs/configuration.md) for settings, permissions, and limitations.
Codex defaults to workspace-write sandboxing and automatic review for eligible escalation requests. Claude uses
automatic permissions and enables its sandbox where the platform supports it; explicit deny rules still apply where it
does not. Both clients include the same logical agent roles and compact status displays. See

- `implementation/`: SQL, unit-test, and integration-test writing
- `verification/`: facts, work-item, and regression verification
- `git/`: pull request reviews
- `content-strategy/`, `copy-editing/`, `copywriting/`: planning, editing, and writing text

- `marketing-psychology/`, `offers/`, `product-marketing/`, `cro/`: audience understanding, value framing, and conversion
Each skill defines a focused workflow with the investigation, decision points, and output expected for that task. Keep guidance specific to the skill; shared repository constraints belong in the rules.
The single catalog in `shared/skills/` includes development skills and focused skills for writing, images, content and site structure, positioning, psychology, and conversion. Builds include every retained skill for both clients. Updating a managed installation backs up and removes unchanged setup-owned skills deleted from the catalog; local changes are backed up and retained.
Claude's generated package additionally has `skills/rules/`: one skill per focused rule file or directory in
`shared/rules/`. The rule-to-skill loading conditions live in `shared/global-instructions.md`, so full rule text loads
only when Claude invokes a matching skill instead of sitting permanently in context. Codex reads the matching rule
