Codex has a repo-specific skill named `panopainter-code-navigation`. Agents must
use it when necessary: follow this path before broad text search when a task is
about C++ symbol identity, symbol families, declarations/definitions, override
groups, or platform/backend boundaries. Use it when
following C++ symbols, finding symbol families with regular expressions, tracing
service/interface wiring, or checking platform/backend boundary usage.
For C++ refactors, use the skill before broad `rg` searches when the question
depends on symbol identity rather than plain text. Reach for `--name-regex`,
Reach for `--name-regex`,
