 "title": "Bootstrap a project's memory from the terminal",
 "page_title": "How to bootstrap a project's memory from the terminal with Echoes Vault Codex",
 "summary": "Run the bundled engine directly to create EchoesVault files in a project without opening Codex.",
 "who": "A developer or automation owner who manages repositories from scripts or works in an agent other than Codex.",
 "problem": "Codex is not always available, but the project still needs the same memory files and runtime.",
 "outcome": "The target project contains the protocol, portable runtime, and adapters, ready to be committed.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/psinetron/echoes-vault-codex.git` once.",
  "Run `python3 echoes-vault-codex/scripts/echoes_vault.py --workspace /path/to/your/project --agent codex --adapter-version 1.1.1 init`, replacing the workspace path with your project. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Open the target project and check that EchoesVault/ and .echoes-vault/ were created.",
  "Commit the generated files in the target project."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Clone psinetron/echoes-vault-codex and run its scripts/echoes_vault.py init against <project-path> with --agent codex and --adapter-version 1.1.1. Expected output: the EchoesVault/ and .echoes-vault/ folders in that project. Verify that .echoes-vault/echoes_vault.py exists in the target project.",

  "any"

 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the generated runtime is the execution source after bootstrap, so the bootstrap step is only needed once per project.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app or Codex CLI",
