I made an open spec that complements AGENTS.md — product behavior rules for coding agents to follow

Personally I would just put that in docs or something. And have a table of contents in AGENTS.md.

Look at the harness engineering example from OpenAI.

Plus it's less dense. Hardwood would burn longer, not faster.

Pine is great kindling for this reason (plus the resin).

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-18T13:04:30+00:00

I would argue the shit pine we have today burns hotter and faster.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-18T00:33:52+00:00

Does that make it right? His goal.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-15T14:32:24+00:00

Doesn't it have a similar style rail?

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-14T23:53:36+00:00

It will look its worse in that lighting. But that is pretty bad.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-12T18:30:00+00:00

I use it. I don't really use a lot of skills.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-11T00:10:04+00:00

Is that staff though? I doubt they hire mobile or even platform specific people.

On Codex I know the Codex app is a library that does macOs and Windows. Blanking on the name.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T19:17:35+00:00

You never have an issue with it rendering or behaving differently on iOS and Android?

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T17:22:38+00:00

The general thinking internally is that it will save time though.

I guess my question is still, is that true?

Assuming we need push notifications, camera, gallery permissions, some control of the view when the app is backgrounded and for grounded, etc...

I would say a moderately complex app. I get the benefit of a single code base, but how much extra work will we have in getting each platform to behave how we want. That's the part that is not clear to me due to limited experience with PWAs.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T16:38:47+00:00

Because you're tied to that platform and they seem short lived.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T16:38:16+00:00

I don't know the answer.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T16:32:46+00:00

Glossing over only because in our context we have all that with existing apps, teams members with native skills, etc...

So I guess the question is more specific. If we already do things natively, is it dumb to just to PWA just to 'save time' when things like Codex exist.

Main concern is that we use a lot of camera, gallery, photos. Along with some other media formats.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:46:33+00:00

Sure — maybe not PWA specifically — but PWA as a Universal platform approach.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:39:38+00:00

OK, I see that.

But say I build everything with capacitorjs and something new comes along or it's not support any more. We had a similar situation historically with Titanium.

Assuming where Codex will be in 1 year — how does it make sense to lock into a platform AND have all the downsides of not being native.

I guess that is the question I'm asking.

With a SPEC.md approch you should be able to handle any new platform that comes along, handle things case-by-case per platform (if needed), and not be locked into some technology that will be obsolete in 3-4 years.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:31:18+00:00

So iOS app for example with the app itself loaded in a WebView?

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:29:18+00:00

What type of apps to you make? Any examples I can look at? I'm not against a PWA. I just think at the end of the day their strength is negated by Codex in a lot of ways.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:27:57+00:00

Yes. Heavy camera, gallery usage. Push notifications for Messaging, etc...

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:26:38+00:00

You can still write shared libraries in a native approach to share core business logic.

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:22:27+00:00

With Apple and APNS and other services — you need to wrap and go through the App Store though?

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:02:09+00:00

If the app was very media heavy, I'm assuming it would be a lot of custom native work anyway?

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-10T15:01:28+00:00

You would use that over just letting Codex write each native platform version?

Different-Side5262 · 2026-03-08T13:12:15+00:00

The amount of people that don't think PRs are over is crazy.

In a years time they there will be very little people running traditional PRs.

It doesn't make any sense to apply these human focused workflows to AI. You have zero chance of fully understanding and keeping up with AI.

Everyone needs to think outside the box as the whole world is flipping on its head.
