 "title": "Strip AI marks from files inside a Codex project",
 "page_title": "How to strip AI marks from files inside a Codex project with Watermarks Remover",
 "summary": "Install the full skill into one project and call the local service from Codex.",
 "who": "A developer using Codex who needs to remove provenance marks from images, documents, or text in a specific project.",
 "problem": "Files and text in a project can carry C2PA, EXIF, XMP, or document properties that a plain text pass does not reach.",
 "outcome": "Codex calls the local service through the remove-ai-marks skill to inspect and clean files in that project.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `python3 install_skill.py --skill remove-ai-marks --target codex-project --project-dir /path/to/project`.",
  "From the repository checkout, start the service with `make serve`.",
  "Open the project in Codex and select the remove-ai-marks skill with `/skills` or by typing `$`.",
  "Ask the skill to inspect a file, then ask it to clean the file if findings are reported.",
  "Open the cleaned file and confirm the marks are gone."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In Codex, use the remove-ai-marks skill from the watermarks-remover repo to inspect <file path> through the local service at http://127.0.0.1:8765. Report the provenance marks found, then clean the file and report whether a second inspection shows none.",
 "agents": [
  "codex"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The skill depends on the local service being reachable at WATERMARKS_SERVICE_URL, so the service must be running before you use it.",
