# The Codex verification prompt

After installing with [the Codex install prompt](codex-install-prompt), open a
**new session** and paste the prompt below. Codex checks the connection, the tools,
the save location and the skills one by one, and appends the results to the
install record. This prompt passed a real run on 2026-10-13.

- **Run it in a new session.** The session you installed from may not see the
  newly attached tools and skills yet.
- **If you installed under another name, change the prompt too.** If you named the
  MCP server `AiAkivCodex`, change `AiAkiv` in the prompt to `AiAkivCodex`.
- **It leaves your memory and settings alone.** This prompt does not save
  memories, create cards or change account settings. It writes its results only to
  the record file in the working folder.

## The prompt

Codex follows the prompt in English just as well as the Korean original.

```
Verify, in a new session, the AiAkiv I just installed on this PC.

1. Check that the AiAkiv MCP server is actually connected.
2. Check that the tool list of that connection provides create_aiakiv_card and run_aiakiv_app_action.
3. You must call get_save_target through the AiAkiv connection. Do not check through a different AiAkiv connection instead.
4. Record the account, team, project, binding, save domain/group and read-only status from the response. Show them to me so I can confirm they match the account I signed in with.
5. Check the names of the installed AiAkiv skills and where they are actually loaded from. In particular, check that aiakiv-contents and aiakiv-console are recognized.
6. Find the aiakiv-install-test.md written during installation and append the verification results to it. If you cannot find it, write aiakiv-verification-test.md in the current test folder.

Mark each item as success, failure or could not check, and attach the actual evidence. Do not save memories, create cards, edit Contents or change account settings.
At the end, briefly summarize the overall result and anything an ordinary user had to prepare in addition.
```

## What you should see

| Item | Expected result |
|---|---|
| 1, 2. Connection and tools | The connection is there, and both `create_aiakiv_card` and `run_aiakiv_app_action` are in the tool list. Card creation is on every connection, but `run_aiakiv_app_action` is on this connection attached with the `?apps=all` address and not on AiAkiv Memory installed from the plugin directory |
| 3, 4. Save location | `binding` comes back as `"main"` and the project name carries `(Main)`. This connection follows the Main project in the console. Check that the account and team match the account you signed in with |
| 5. Skills | The seven skills (aiakiv-onboarding, aiakiv-save-and-recall, aiakiv-graph-query, aiakiv-links, aiakiv-cards, aiakiv-console, aiakiv-contents) are read from `~/.agents/skills/`. If `aiakiv-console` and `aiakiv-contents` show up, you can use app features too |
| 6. Record | The verification results are appended to the `aiakiv-install-test.md` written at install time |

## If the results differ

- **`run_aiakiv_app_action` is missing.** AiAkiv Memory from the plugin directory
  may still be installed, and the check may have gone through it. Remove the
  plugin, or install this connection as `AiAkivCodex` and check again under that
  name. A connection whose address lacks `?apps=all` doesn't have this tool either
  → [The app action tool](app-actions).
- **The skills are missing.** Run `codex debug prompt-input "hello"` to print the
  prompt sent to the model and see whether the seven names are in its skill list.
  If not, paste [the Codex install prompt](codex-install-prompt) again. It
  doesn't install items that are already there a second time.
- **The AI says it can't do console work.** Console work that changes something
  only happens for what you turned on in **Reference → AI permissions** in the
  console → [Asking your AI to do console work](console-actions).
