Host adapter interface for image-to-3D model generation, specifically for vision and browser screenshot capabilities.

Achieving agent-agnosticism and broad host compatibility for the `img2threejs` skill. Standardizing host-provided capabilities through a thin adapter layer.
This issue addresses a critical interoperability challenge for `img2threejs`: achieving true agent-agnosticism across diverse host environments. The core problem is the variability in how different hosts (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) provide essential vision and browser screenshot capabili...

Dynamic tool discovery and refresh for AI agents (Codex) interacting with an agent operating system (AOS).

Ensuring real-time synchronization of agent capabilities with the underlying operating system's dynamic tool surface. Adherence to `tools.listChanged` notification standard.
This issue highlights a critical integration failure between Unicity AOS and Codex, where Codex fails to dynamically refresh its tool inventory despite AOS correctly signaling changes. The core problem is Codex's static tool catalog at MCP startup, rendering newly installed or removed capabilitie...

Codex Dream Skin's `restore` functionality and system stability.

The product is a skin/theming tool. The `restore` function is intended to revert changes safely. However, its current implementation causes data corruption and application failure, positioning the product as unreliable and potentially destructive rather than enhancing.
This bug report exposes a severe stability and data integrity flaw within the Codex Dream Skin product. The `restore` function, intended for safe reversion, instead corrupts `config.toml` files, leading to garbled project names and rendering the core Codex application unlaunchable. This issue rep...

CyberPPT, a Codex Skill for generating consulting-style PowerPoint presentations. The core issue is Codex failing to automatically recognize and load the CyberPPT skill.

CyberPPT is positioned as a 'Codex Skill' for generating 'high-density, editable, consulting-style PowerPoint' presentations, supporting 'SCR narrative, style confirmation, and PPTX quality checks.' The failure to be automatically recognized undermines its accessibility and integration as a skill within the Codex ecosystem.
This issue reveals a critical integration failure for CyberPPT within the Codex ecosystem: the skill is not automatically recognized post-restart. This forces manual invocation, severely hindering user experience and adoption. The root cause, identified by Codex itself, points to an oversized `SK...

CyberPPT, a Codex Skill for generating consulting-style PowerPoint presentations. The specific problem is a significant discrepancy between the generated preview images (IMG2) and the final editable PowerPoint output.

CyberPPT is positioned as a tool for generating 'high-density, editable, consulting-style PowerPoint' presentations. The issue directly challenges the 'editable' and 'consulting-style' aspects if the final output deviates drastically from the approved preview. This undermines trust in the generation process.
This issue highlights a critical fidelity gap in CyberPPT: a significant divergence between 'IMG2 generated preview images' and the 'generated editable PPT effect.' Users observe excellent previews but receive final editable PowerPoint files that bear 'no relation at all' to the approved visual. ...

Playground, an open-source sandbox enabling non-technical teams (designers, PMs, sales) to prototype directly on production Nextjs codebases with guardrails.

An open-source sandbox that allows non-technical teams to quickly change and explore user flows on real app code, eliminating developer bottlenecks and the overhead of maintaining separate mock repositories. Offers one-click code retrieval, unlike closed-source design tools.
Playground addresses a critical cross-functional bottleneck: the inability of non-technical teams to rapidly iterate on product flows without developer intervention or the burden of maintaining out-of-sync mock environments.

Caliper, a local and lightweight harness for reliability testing of LLM skills, providing a pass@k score.

Reliability testing for Claude Code and Codex skills. Stop publishing skills that quietly break. Lightweight harness that runs a skill k times in isolated environments. Non-deterministic technology requires more than 'it worked once' validation.
Caliper addresses a critical developer pain point in the LLM ecosystem: the absence of robust, standardized testing for non-deterministic AI outputs. The 'quietly break' scenario due to model updates or inherent variability poses significant operational risk for B2B SaaS leveraging LLMs. Caliper'...
