How Q connects to Codex

Q offers multiple ways to share your product context. Here's what works with Codex.

Integration MethodCodex
Single File Export
Export selected pages into one consolidated file for easy pasting into any AI tool.
Multiple Files Export
Export selected pages as individual standalone files for structured project context.
MCP (Model Context Protocol)
Live connection via MCP — AI tools can read, create, and update Q pages directly.
Cursor Rules Export
Export product context formatted as Cursor's .mdc rules files for automatic AI guidance.
Skill.md Export
Export an instructions file formatted for Claude's Agent Skills (SKILL.md).

How it works

1

Define your product in Q

Write your product brief, set scope boundaries, and capture architectural decisions. Q structures everything Codex needs to code with intent.

2

Connect your way

Choose your integration method: MCP for live context, rules files for project-level guidance, Skill.md for agent instructions, or flat file exports for direct context.

3

Code with full awareness

Codex reads your product brief, respects scope boundaries, and follows your architectural decisions across every task it runs.

Example: Codex coding with product context

With Q connected, Codex understands your product before writing a single line:

markdown
# Codex with Q context (via MCP or rules file):

> "Add a webhook endpoint for external events"

# Codex reads from Q:
# ✓ Brief: "AI-native PM tool for builders"
# ✓ Scope: "MVP — simple HMAC auth, no OAuth"
# ✓ Decision: "All API routes in /api, use zod validation"
# ✓ Constraint: "No external queue — process inline for MVP"

# Codex generates a focused webhook handler that:
# - Uses HMAC signature verification (not OAuth)
# - Places the route in /api/webhooks/
# - Validates payload with zod
# - Processes inline (no queue)

# Supports all integration methods:
# ✓ MCP — live read/write access to Q
# ✓ Rules files — project-level constraints
# ✓ Skill.md — agent instructions
# ✓ Single/multi file export — direct context

Why use Q with Codex

Every method supported

MCP, rules files, Skill.md, single file, multi file — Codex works with every Q export method. Choose what fits your workflow.

Architectural decisions enforced

Decisions captured in Q become constraints Codex follows. Consistent patterns across every file it touches.

Less review, more shipping

When Codex understands your product, its output needs less correction. First-pass code is closer to what you'd write yourself.

Scope-aware task execution

Codex knows what's in scope and what's not. No over-engineering, no features you explicitly ruled out.

Give Codex your product brain

Connect Q to Codex and turn every coding task into product-aligned code.
