Overview

• Draft compact GitHub issues using the authoring agent's voice skill when available.
• Plan milestones and assess task completion against project evidence.
• Apply shared standards to code, documentation, and releases.
• Audit projects for useful improvements, with permission to leave well enough alone.

Installation

Have Bun available for bundled scripts, and git plus an authenticated gh CLI for repository work. See installation for prerequisites, upgrades, local checkouts, and optional OpenClaw guidance.

For Codex, install Node/npm and the supported Codex CLI listed in the prerequisites, then run:

npx --yes --package=@tanaab/codex-tools@1 -- codex-tools install npm:@tanaab/canon

For OpenClaw 2026.9.5 or newer:

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@tanaab/canon --accept-capabilities

Skills

In a Codex project task or OpenClaw chat, invoke a skill by name. For a read-only first pass:

Use $tanaab-project-optimizer to audit this project's documentation and propose
only changes worth making. Keep the audit read-only.

The Codex and OpenClaw manifests expose all 23 skills below.

Issues, Questions and Support

• Open a task as a GitHub issue in tanaabased/canon when the project has canon drift, broken skill behavior, stale references, or missing guidance.
• Route implementation work to the owning project or skill surface instead of overloading this repository with unrelated product fixes.

Changelog

• See CHANGELOG.md for release history.
• See the GitHub releases page for published release notes.
