Enhancing Codenotch's utility by enabling direct navigation to active AI agent sessions within developer tools (Terminal, iTerm, Cursor, VS Code, Codex) interacting with AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity).

Codenotch aims to be a central, efficient workflow management tool for developers using multiple AI coding assistants. The proposed feature positions it as a productivity enhancer, reducing context switching and manual search time, integrating deeply with the macOS environment and developer tool ecosystem.
This issue highlights a critical developer pain point: context switching inefficiency when managing multiple AI coding agents. Codenotch, a macOS app, currently identifies waiting agents but requires manual navigation to their respective terminals or IDEs. The proposed feature to directly focus t...

A community-driven Windows port of Codenotch, a macOS app for monitoring AI agent usage limits. The core idea is cross-platform expansion, replicating the original's design and functionality on Windows using Rust + Tauri 2 / WebView2.

This port positions Codenotch as a platform-agnostic solution for AI agent usage monitoring, extending its market reach beyond macOS. The developer aims for feature parity and UI consistency with the original, leveraging documented provider behaviors and wire formats. This demonstrates a commitment to a standardized user experience and robust integration with AI coding tools across operating systems.
This issue reveals significant market demand for Codenotch's functionality beyond macOS, evidenced by a community-driven Windows port. The developer has successfully replicated core features and UI using Rust + Tauri 2, demonstrating the viability of cross-platform expansion. This initiative vali...

Unconditional indexing of compatibility skill roots from other agent harnesses, lacking user control to disable or exclude them.

Configurable and efficient agent skill management, allowing granular control over skill discovery and loading sources.
This issue highlights a critical control deficiency within the `fx` agent platform. The system's hardcoded, unconditional indexing of compatibility skill roots from other agent harnesses (`.claude`, `.codex`) forces unnecessary resource consumption and potential namespace clutter. Developers lack...

The 'ip-as-logo-skill' and its integration challenges within broader AI agent ecosystems. Specific pain points include reliance on 'image gen' and a 'codex environment,' and the lack of 'acceptance and detection' for generated 'SVG images' by 'open-source agents.'

The skill is currently positioned as a standalone 'image gen' tool. The proposed positioning is a more robust, integrated solution within a 'multimodal' AI workflow, enhancing its utility beyond direct SVG output and enabling broader 'agent applicability.'
This issue reveals critical integration and operational friction points for the 'ip-as-logo-skill.' Its reliance on a 'codex environment' and 'image gen' limits broader 'agent applicability,' indicating a technical barrier to wider adoption.

The 'sol-advisor' project, described as 'Codex-native architect orchestration with Luna and Terra implementation lanes and mandatory fresh Sol review.' The specific pain point is inconsistent validation behavior in the 'inspect-agent-runtime.sh' script, where critical security-related parameters ('sandbox_policy', 'permission_profile') fail silently by returning 'null' instead of hard-failing like 'model' or 'effort'. This creates a 'silent fallback' problem.

Ensuring robust and explicit validation for critical agent runtime parameters, particularly those governing security and permissions ('sandbox_policy', 'permission_profile'). The project aims for 'no silent fallback,' meaning any missing or invalid critical configuration should result in a hard failure, not a 'null' return that could lead to unintended default behaviors or security vulnerabilities.
This issue exposes a critical vulnerability in the 'sol-advisor' runtime inspector: it silently accepts missing 'sandbox_policy' and 'permission_profile' parameters, returning 'null' instead of a hard failure. This directly contradicts the project's stated 'no silent fallback' principle, creating...

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. ...
