# Codex Automation Agent Rules

Purpose:
Run the design-to-data pipeline for boss encounters.

Pipeline:
1. Read Markdown boss design doc from the design vault.
2. Convert it to boss YAML.
3. Validate the YAML using boss design rules.
4. Write a validation report next to the design doc.
5. Write runtime YAML into the game project.

Rules:
- Markdown is the source of truth.
- YAML is derived data.
- Validation should never modify the source Markdown.
- Do not invent mechanics.
- If a field is missing, record that as uncertainty or an issue.
