Model Agnostic Workflows - Guide #77
If your project only works in the AI tool you started it in, you have built a dependency you did not mean to.Can you only work on your project in Codex? Threads fill. Models go down. Tools change. A better option ships. A different model becomes the right one for the next step. If all of your project truth lives in one conversation, switching tools means losing the project or rebuilding the context from memory.This free guide shows you how to build model-agnostic workflows: systems where Claude Code, Codex, a local model, or the next tool can pick up the same project because the truth lives outside the model.Inside:- What model-agnostic actually means: the project lives in portable artifacts, not in a model's context.- Why lock-in happens by accident when the thread quietly becomes the project.- The five properties that make a workflow portable: readable, specific, decision-bearing, reviewable, and pointer-based.- A real example from running ForgeCore and ForgeMarketing across Claude Code and Codex.- How the Knowledge Base MCP tool made Codex part of the same memory layer.- Door 1: the beginner handoff habit that makes one project portable today.- Door 2: how to run across models on purpose without making yourself the context carrier.- A copy-ready prompt for turning this guide back onto one of your own projects so the AI can propose the artifacts it needs to become portable.The best model keeps changing. Build the system so changing models does not cost you the project.Built with ForgeOps, the governed workflow I use to keep AI-assisted projects scoped, resumable, and portable across tools: https://tristateaiconsulting.gumroad.com/l/forgeops
