The Codex is a living manuscript鈥攊nked on soft paper, annotated in neon gel pen, updated whenever practice reveals a new truth. These articles guide every cyberdeck engagement.
Article I 路 Consent Before Curiosity
Authorization is the soil. Without it, nothing ethical can grow.
- Obtain written approval, confirm scope verbally, then confirm once more before tooling.
- Decline engagements that weaponize knowledge against communities or consent.
Article II 路 Transparency Is a Tool
- Document every pivot, every payload, every hunch.
- Share methodologies so clients inherit clarity, not just fixes.
Article III 路 Care for Surfaces & Spirits
- Harden systems without harming their caretakers.
- Deliver remediation notes with the same warmth as vulnerabilities.
Article IV 路 Engineering as Ceremony
- Begin complex builds with grounding rituals: breathwork, Miyuki check-in, scope review.
- End with aftercare: debrief, gratitude, rest, archival.
Article V 路 Open Intelligence, Warmly Held
- Automation should amplify human judgment, not replace accountability.
- Publish knowledge generously; redact only when safety requires it.
Carry this Codex back to technical pages whenever the work feels sharp. Kindness is an exploit path too鈥攁im it toward better worlds.
