What problem does it solve?
Single-model coding agents can confidently deliver work that is technically correct but misaligned with what the user actually wanted, with no independent check on requirements, plans, or implementations. This Skill pairs Codex and Claude Code through their local CLIs so one model executes while the other independently challenges intent, plans, code, and final results until a structured ACK verdict is reached.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Four enforced review gates: Intent, Plan, Implementation, and Final gates run in strict order with persistent state, session continuity rules, and fail-closed BLOCKED verdicts when evidence is missing.
- Structured cross-model review: A JSON schema enforces verdicts (ACK / NOT_ACK / BLOCKED), P0-P2 findings, artifact inspection proof, and fresh-scan requirements, preventing vague or partial reviews.
- Read-only peer isolation: The peer CLI runs in read-only sandbox mode with recursion protection, artifact manifest validation, and atomic state files stored outside the repository.
- Use Case: Before merging a complex cross-module refactor, the primary model sends the diff, test results, and verbatim user request to the peer CLI for a cold implementation review, fixes each P1 finding, resumes the review session, and only proceeds to final acceptance after all gates ACK.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to use the dual-agent-collaboration skill to have the other CLI model independently review this task's requirements, plan, and implementation until every gate returns ACK.
