The learning need
Blue Scribes record Strategic Orientation; Facilitators submit it to White Cell. Learners must distinguish their own choice from a forecast of Red—and a saved handoff from a completed review.
Fractured Order on Plenum
From a team decision to a verified handoff. A Blue Scribe’s first task in the Fractured Order simulation.
Back to NeckbeardThe intervention
Scope and ownership
The owner selected the Fractured Order deployment. Using Neckbeard, Codex traced its Blue Scribe workflow and produced a job aid, listening edition, narrated explainer, and transfer exercise.
From design to evidence
The design decision
Teach one complete task through three inputs: Blue’s orientation, the forecast of Red’s orientation, and Red’s expected action. End with the saved record and confirmation from the receiving Facilitator.
What the work demonstrates
Role-specific task analysis, a clear handoff boundary, and consistent learning materials across formats. The source is pinned to a clean local checkout. Hosted behavior and learner outcomes are not established.

Read the video transcript
Neckbeard is a skill for Codex. Point it at a repo, and it writes the onboarding docs for you.
You just ask. Tell it who the docs are for, and what they need to do.
Then it reads the code, not just the README. So when the README promises something the code doesn't do, it catches that.
Here's what you get. A tutorial with the real commands, what you should see at each step, and what to do when something goes wrong.
You also get a record of what it actually ran, and what it only read in the code. So you know what to trust.
It all lands as plain files in your repo. Review them, edit them, and ship them like any other change.
Pick the parts you need, and install with one command. That's Neckbeard.
