Install targets
Codex install prompt
Install the "specx-project-tooling" agent skill from https://github.com/maksimzayats/specx/tree/main/.agents/skills/specx-project-tooling. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Add strict Python project tooling for a specx service. Use when creating or updating `pyproject.toml`, `uv` dependency groups and lock checks, Ruff formatting and linting, mypy strict mode, pytest and HTTPX2 test configuration, Makefile commands, root `AGENTS.md` command guidance, or CI-like local guardrails. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"maksimzayats-specx-project-tooling","task":"Install specx-project-tooling","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes.Supply asset profile

Generate original one-ink or controlled two-ink editorial images from any theme, sentence, article idea, object, or reference photo. Always use this skill when the user asks for 单色海报、双色印刷、单色调视觉、蓝色/绿色孔版印刷、risograph、网点照片、复古或当代编辑排版、zine poster, monochrome editorial poster, duotone print, or asks to use the mono-color style. It uses an adaptive white, gray, or pale-beige substrate, no more than two printing inks, active negative space, terse human language, and strong serif/grotesk/mono typography without making retro styling the default or copying a source composition, wording, logo, or artwork. Produce both the final generation prompt and the generated raster image unless the user explicitly asks for prompt only.

# specx Project Tooling
Use this skill to make the repository executable and checkable. Read `references/tooling.md` before editing tooling files.
## Workflow
1. Use `specx init <path>` for the fresh framework-neutral baseline. It renders the canonical `pyproject.toml`, Makefile, `.python-version`, health core/IOC scaffold, mirrored unit tests, and root guidance, then runs `uv add specx diwire` and `uv add --dev mypy pytest ruff` unless `--no-sync` is passed. Let uv select and record compatible releases rather than rendering dependency floors. 2. Preserve the repo's Python version if it already exists. For a new repo, default to Python 3.14. The initializer accepts any `major.minor` value; do not hardcode a release allowlist that blocks future Python versions. 3. Use `uv` metadata in `pyproject.toml`. 4. For a new project, verify current compatible releases against the official package indexes and documentation before copying reference floors. Preserve intentional versions in an existing repo unless the user asks to upgrade. 5. Add runtime dependencies only for real runtime features. For a starter API, include `specx`, FastAPI, `diwire`, `pydantic-settings`, and Uvicorn. 6. Add dev dependencies for pytest, Ruff, mypy, HTTP testing, and ASGI lifespan testing when there is a FastAPI app. 7. Keep mypy strict. Do not enable the DIWire mypy plugin for constructor-field injection; it is only needed if an existing project intentionally uses `resolver_context.inject` function wrappers. 8. Enable `select = ["ALL"]` for Ruff in new projects. Ignore only formatter conflicts and deliberate file-category conventions, and put a concise comment describing what each ignored rule checks beside its code. 9. Generate `[tool.specx]` with `select = ["ALL"]` so every applicable built-in guardrail is explicit. Missing technology surfaces are skipped for `ALL`; explicit technology selectors still warn when their surface is absent. 10. Add simple Makefile targets: `check`, `format`, `lint`, `test`, and `dev` when there is a FastAPI delivery app. `lint` runs Ruff, mypy, and `uv run --locked specx check`; do not create separate `guardrails` or `lock-check` targets. 11. If SQLAlchemy adapters exist, add Alembic dependency/config and `migrate`/`makemigrations` targets with `$specx-sqlalchemy-migrations`. 12. When adding or changing Makefile targets, update root `AGENTS.md` Commands so coding agents run the right project commands. 13. Use locked execution for non-mutating validation commands. 14. Run the smallest useful checks after changing tooling.
## Guardrails
- Do not add heavyweight services such as Docker, Alembic, Redis, or PostgreSQL unless the repo has code that uses them. - Once a SQLAlchemy adapter exists, Alembic is required. Do not use `metadata.create_all` as a replacement for migrations. - Do not split linting rules across many files unless the project already does. - Keep commands copyable and non-interactive. - Keep `AGENTS.md` command guidance aligned with the actual Makefile. Do not list migration commands before SQLAlchemy/Alembic exists.
## Code Style
Use blank lines as logical separators in all code. Keep related statements together, but separate independent setup, action, assertion, response, branch, and transformation groups so long blocks stay readable.
## References
- `references/tooling.md` - recommended `pyproject.toml`, Makefile, and command patterns.
