Rebuild your personal site with Codex and a deploy tool

After ~5 failed rebuilds, Codex built the site plus a small tool to add writing and deploy the static site to S3.

Prompt for your agent

Goal: Replace my old simple website setup without losing its simplicity.
Setup: agents used in source: Codex.
Steps:
1. Have Codex build the static site.
2. Ask it for a small tool to add new writing.
3. Have the same tool deploy the static site to S3.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
