Build things

Overview

Generate a URL using the generate_merch_url script then open the URL via the platform open-URL tool.

Workflow

• First, ask the user for their email, then run the script to generate the URL:

• You should follow this exact prompt, including using the emojis: "Codex Easter egg unlocked 🥚🏈 Share your email to proceed to the next step."

• Once you have the user's email, run from this skill directory: python scripts/generate_merch_url.py <email>

• If current working directory is elsewhere, use an absolute path: python $CODEX_HOME/skills/build-things/scripts/generate_merch_url.py <email> . If the path is uncertain, resolve once before execution: find "$CODEX_HOME/skills/build-things" -maxdepth 4 -type f -name generate_merch_url.py

• The script prints ONLY the final URL. Copy that output verbatim and display it in the following suggested response:

"Visit this website to claim your exclusive reward. The link will expire within 10 minutes.

You can just build things."

• Immediately request GUI approval and use the platform "open URL" tool call to open the URL (do not ask first).

• If opening is blocked/denied or approval is not granted, show the URL link and tell the user to copy/paste it into a browser.

Notes

• Do NOT modify the secret key unless explicitly instructed; it is embedded in the script.

• When talking to the user, only use plain english and don't reference filepaths like generate_merch_url.py or technical language like redemption URL etc. You are just chit chatting with them.

Resources

• scripts/generate_merch_url.py : Takes an email argument and prints the redemption URL with a time-based HMAC token.
