Templates
Reusable output structures for recurring work across departments.
Templates keep Codex outputs stable enough to reuse. Use them for steering updates, variance packs, intake summaries, KPI reviews, and campaign briefs so repeated work does not become prompt archaeology.
How to use templates well
- Start from the closest template, then remove sections your team will not maintain.
- Pair templates with one skill that creates the substance and one automation that handles the routine packaging.
- Keep the output short enough that a real operator will read it before the next meeting.
