SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill lets a Jarvis Kanban worker use Codex as an isolated implementation helper without losing ownership of task lifecycle, verification, or final acceptance. It prevents untrusted agent output from being treated as completed work and keeps risky edits contained in a separate worktree.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated Worktree Execution: Creates a separate branch and worktree so Codex changes never touch the shared checkout directly.
  • Ownership and Safety Rules: Keeps Jarvis responsible for task control, test execution, cleanup, and final handoff while Codex remains input only.
  • Reconciliation Workflow: Supports diff review, cherry-picking, rejection, and verification before any changes are accepted.
  • Use Case: A worker needs help implementing a bounded code change, so Jarvis spins up a Codex lane, reviews the patch, reruns tests, and records an accepted or rejected outcome.

Quick Start

Ask Jarvis to launch a Codex lane for a bounded coding task in an isolated worktree, then review the diff, rerun the tests, and reconcile the result before marking anything complete.

Frequently Asked Questions about kanban-codex-lane

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I isolate AI agent code changes from the main branch?▼

You isolate AI agent code changes by running Codex in a dedicated worktree with branch isolation, ensuring edits never touch the shared checkout directly before diff reconciliation and verification.

What is a Codex lane for isolated worktree execution?▼

A Codex lane is a bounded execution environment that applies ownership rules and safety constraints, allowing an agent to assist with coding tasks while a primary worker retains lifecycle control and final acceptance.

How do I review and reconcile agent diffs before accepting them?▼

You review and reconcile agent diffs through a structured workflow that supports diff review, cherry-picking, rejection, and independent test execution before marking any changes as accepted within the Kanban lifecycle.

Can I use Codex for refactoring without losing task ownership?▼

Yes, you can use Codex for refactoring without losing task ownership by enforcing explicit safety constraints where the agent remains input only, while you retain responsibility for test execution, cleanup, and structured handoff metadata.

What are the limitations of treating untrusted agent output as completed work?▼

Treating untrusted agent output as completed work risks injecting unverified edits into your main branch, which is why branch isolation and independent verification are required before final handoff and acceptance.
