This skill automates the final Codex acceptance gate, ensuring changes are verified against the original spec, design, tasks, and evidence before archiving.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Independent verification of changes by Codex before archive.
  • Cross-checks against proposal, design, tasks, and execution evidence.
  • Provides a clear decision paper and traceable audit trail for archive readiness.

Quick Start

Initiate the acceptance review process for a change and verify it against the associated spec, design, tasks, and verification evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate acceptance verification before archiving changes?

Acceptance verification is automated by comparing implementation against proposal, design, and evidence. It applies to changes requiring formal verification before archive, enforcing guardrails and providing traceable evidence for the final decision.

What is a spec-review cycle for design validation?

A spec-review cycle for design validation is an independent acceptance gate. It cross-checks task completion against the original spec and execution evidence to ensure changes are verified before archiving.

Can I use Codex to enforce guardrails during the archive process?

Yes, Codex enforces guardrails during the archive process. It automates the final acceptance gate, ensuring the archive decision is made independently by comparing implementation against verification evidence.

How do I get a traceable audit trail for archive readiness?

You get a traceable audit trail for archive readiness by running the acceptance review process. It cross-checks execution evidence against the proposal and design, outputting a clear decision paper for verification.

Does the acceptance gate work without external dependencies?

Yes, the acceptance gate works without external dependencies. It independently compares implementation against proposal, design, tasks, and verification evidence to ensure archive readiness within its self-contained environment.

When do I need formal verification for task completion?

You need formal verification for task completion when changes require archiving across spec-review cycles. It ensures implementation is cross-checked against design and execution evidence before final acceptance.
