Ck:coding Level

Coding Level

Set your coding experience level for tailored explanations and output format.

Usage

$coding-level [0-5]

Levels

| Level | Name | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | 0 | ELI5 | Zero coding experience - analogies, no jargon, step-by-step | | 1 | Junior | 0-2 years - concepts explained, WHY not just HOW | | 2 | Mid-Level | 3-5 years - design patterns, system thinking | | 3 | Senior | 5-8 years - trade-offs, business context, architecture | | 4 | Tech Lead | 8-10 years - risk assessment, business impact, strategy | | 5 | God Mode | Expert - default behavior, maximum efficiency (default) |

How It Works

1. Set codingLevel in .codex/.ck.json
2. Guidelines are automatically injected on every session start
3. No manual activation needed - it just works!

Example

Set level 1 in .codex/.ck.json:

{
  "codingLevel": 1,
  ...
}

Next session, Codex will automatically:

• Explain concepts and techniques clearly
• Always explain WHY, not just HOW
• Point out common mistakes
• Add "Key Takeaways" after implementations

Optional: Manual Output Styles

For finer control, you can also use /output-style with these styles:

• coding-level-0-eli5
• coding-level-1-junior
• coding-level-2-mid
• coding-level-3-senior
• coding-level-4-lead
• coding-level-5-god
