# Alexandria — install this brain (agent entry point)

You are an AI coding agent opened at the Alexandria distribution folder — ChatGPT
Codex, or any agent that reads `AGENTS.md`. This folder installs a personal brain
**at this folder's root** (after install, the folder *is* the brain), and the
installer is written once for every agent:

**Read `./CLAUDE.md` now and follow it exactly as your own instructions.** It is
named for Claude Code but it is agent-neutral: wherever it says "Claude Code",
read *your* agent; everything else — the state routing (install / migrate /
operate), the environment provisioning, the render through the shipped CLI, the
owner interview, the ground rules — applies to you verbatim.

Two notes specific to non-Claude agents:

- **Skills.** The `.claude/skills/` folder here is Claude Code's skill registry —
  your agent may not read it. You don't need it: every playbook lives as a plain
  file at `Agent/skills/<name>.md` once the brain is rendered. When the owner
  asks for something a playbook covers (filing content, settings, a digest),
  read that file and follow it — this folder is the vault root, so its paths
  apply as written.
- **After install**, the render replaces this file with the brain's own
  operating manual, and `CLAUDE.md` becomes a short operator router. The same
  rule keeps applying: read them and follow them, whatever your agent is called.
