[!IMPORTANT] The default Agent plugin surface is six MCP tools. Codex and Claude Code select the focused skills profile. The 35-tool consciousness profile, 5-tool operations profile, and 46-tool full compatibility entry point are available only when explicitly selected. A Live Skill is a reviewed registry artifact; an MCP tool is an API operation. They are not the same count.

Install once

Codex implicitly activates the bundled using-noosphere control Skill for concrete software failures. Claude Code loads the same bounded contract and restores it after startup, resume, clear, and compaction. The normal path is:

frame the failure -> discover applicable Live Skills -> verify exact SHA-256
                  -> check local applicability -> apply -> run real verification

_{Time-compressed reconstruction from real public noosphere-mcp==0.9.0 query and validation output.}

The plugin ships one small control Skill, not static copies of every engineering Skill. Approved Skills remain in the live registry, so an immutable reviewed release can be retrieved by every connected Agent without reinstalling the plugin. Anonymous discovery is read-only. Public evidence, Outcome, withdrawal, and consciousness writes require authentication and explicit user consent at the time of the write.

Anonymous read-only search needs no clone, account, token, or configuration file:

Codex sidebar ordering broken?

The Codex Sidebar Doctor turns the published Windows recovery into a safe front door: read-only diagnosis first, the exact 1.0.0 repair only when its single-layer boundary matches, and identifier-free evidence for newer second-layer or task/render-cache failures.

pwsh -NoProfile -File .\tools\codex-sidebar-doctor\Invoke-CodexSidebarDoctor.ps1

The doctor never submits by default. One explicit -SubmitPublicEvidence invocation creates a public report, after which the repository Agent validates, records, labels, and closes it automatically. No paid API or always-on service is involved.

Contribute through the right evidence path

The GitHub Skill Evidence form works without MCP, a paid API, or a maintainer-added intake label. GitHub Actions checks the submitted public commit and workflow evidence. Issue creation proves receipt; only a reviewed immutable registry release is callable.

Shared it publicly? Record proof: use the Share Proof form. Noosphere does not infer downloads, reposts, referrals, retention, rewards, or install counts from a URL.

Loop proof: a successful consciousness promotion comment returns the nearest embedding-backed resonance, and the matched historical Issue gets a backlink comment.

Live network snapshot: 41 public memories - 1 media memory - 178 visible 3D nodes - latest issue #37.
General consciousness contribution: Open the consciousness form. Engineering fixes use the Skill Evidence form.

Experience Records preserve the case before it becomes a Skill

The experimental Experience Protocol v0.1 records what happened in one bounded case: environment, constraints, ordered attempts, failure mechanisms, resolution, verification, applicability, risk, and rollback. Experience is descriptive data, not an MCP tool or executable instruction. Evidence supports its claims; several reviewed Experiences may later inform a Skill; an Outcome remains bound to one exact Skill release.

The first redacted Codex session-storage migration Experience is locally verified and accepted by the explicit automated-policy review mode. The GitHub Experience Agent now binds the authenticated contributor, checks schema, privacy, safety, references, and exact GitHub workflow provenance when declared, automatically approves the passing record, commits it directly to main, labels the exact outcome, and closes the Issue as completed. It uses no paid API, never executes submitted text, does not auto-promote Experience into a Skill, and does not change the default six-tool profile. Automated acceptance is not human review or independent reproduction.

The default six-tool surface

Catalog usage numbers count approved Outcome reports only. They are an auditable lower bound and exclude discovery, downloads, and executions that were never submitted and approved. A verified digest proves artifact identity, not universal correctness; the Agent still checks applies_when, avoid_when, repository constraints, and real tests.
