 "title": "Set up persistent project memory for a repo in Codex",
 "page_title": "How to set up persistent project memory for a repo in Codex with Echoes Vault Codex",
 "summary": "Install the EchoesVault plugin and initialize memory in one project so Codex keeps context between tasks.",
 "who": "A developer who starts many Codex tasks in the same repository and keeps re-explaining the architecture and past decisions.",
 "problem": "Each new Codex task starts without the project history, so decisions and context must be repeated.",
 "outcome": "The project has an EchoesVault folder and a portable runtime, and later Codex tasks show a status card and can restore memory.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `codex plugin marketplace add psinetron/echoes-vault-codex` once in a terminal.",
  "Run `codex plugin add echoes-vault-codex@echoes-vault`.",
  "Run `codex plugin list` and confirm the entry shows installed, enabled.",
  "Start a new Codex task in your project and send: Initialize EchoesVault for this project.",
  "Commit the generated EchoesVault/, .echoes-vault/echoes_vault.py, and adapter files with Git."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the EchoesVault plugin from psinetron/echoes-vault-codex, initialize project memory in <project-path> and list the files it created. Expected output: an EchoesVault/ folder and a .echoes-vault/ folder containing echoes_vault.py. Verify that EchoesVault/.gitignore ignores index.md.",
 "agents": [
  "codex"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Initialization is project-local, and the plugin stays silent in repositories that have not been initialized, so each project needs its own setup.",

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