Prompt To Use
Read AGENTS.md and propose a safer, more specific version for my real-estate business.
Business context:
- Market: [city/region]
- Property type: [sales/rentals/luxury/investment/commercial]
- Brand voice: [describe voice]
- Legal/compliance sensitivities: [fair housing, MLS, privacy, local requirements, etc.]
Do not edit the file yet. First return:
1. rules you would keep,
2. rules you would add,
3. rules that may be too vague,
4. a revised AGENTS.md draft,
5. questions I should answer before we apply it.What You Should See
Expected result
Codex should produce a revised AGENTS.md draft and questions. It should not edit until you approve.
If It Goes Wrong
- If the draft is too long, ask for a version under 700 words.
- If it includes legal claims, ask it to convert them into review warnings.
- If it is generic, add your market, property types, and brand examples.
Make It Yours
Use this mission to set rules that matter locally: protected classes, claims about schools, investment returns, square meter accuracy, energy ratings, viewing instructions, or disclosure language.
Practical Output
A project instruction file that future Codex tasks will follow.
