concise

Chinese-first concise mode for Codex CLI / Claude Code / Cursor.

TL;DR

• Goal: install once, make Codex CLI follow the same wrapper chain used here.
• Levels: only lite and ultra.
• concise-default is optional; Codex CLI primary path is the wrapper.

Quick Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cpp1022/concise/main/install.sh | sh

Default behavior: installs the Codex CLI wrapper chain. Optional generated defaults:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cpp1022/concise/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --default lite
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cpp1022/concise/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --default ultra

Runtime Model

Source of truth: concise/SKILL.md (detailed layer + reinforcement layer). Injection order: reinforcement first, then detail.

Physical files:

• Reinforcement layer: concise/REINFORCE.md
• Detail layer: concise/DETAIL.md
• Compatibility source: concise/SKILL.md

Global runtime targets:

• Cursor: ~/.cursor/rules/concise-reinforce.mdc then ~/.cursor/rules/concise-detail.mdc
• Codex wrapper source: concise/scripts/codex
• Claude Code: managed block in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

Codex CLI injection path:

• wrapper: ~/.codex/bin/codex
• base concise rules: ~/.codex/skills/concise/REINFORCE.md → ~/.codex/skills/concise/DETAIL.md
• fallback source: ~/.codex/skills/concise/SKILL.md
• project merge order inside wrapper: concise layers → AGENTS.md → AGENTS.override.md

What concise-default Writes

• ~/.cursor/rules/concise.mdc
• ~/.cursor/rules/concise-reinforce.mdc
• ~/.cursor/rules/concise-detail.mdc
• ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (managed block)
• ~/.codex/instructions.md
• ~/.codex/instructions.reinforce.md
• ~/.codex/instructions.detail.md
• ~/.config/concise/config

Notes

• Edit global behavior in concise/SKILL.md.
• Do not hand-edit generated target files under ~/.cursor / ~/.codex.
• For Codex CLI, keep ~/.codex/bin ahead of the real Codex binary in PATH.
