Use before claiming work complete, fixed, or passing - requires fresh evidence before any completion claim
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Use when shaping a feature before implementation - turns rough ideas into an approved markdown spec and local task directory
Use to execute an approved local markdown task directory iteratively - work the current Now slice, update docs, then stop
Use when implementation is complete and verified - delete finished local task docs, present integration options, and clean up safely
Use for advanced markdown task-doc operations - split work, reprioritize slices, delete finished local task dirs, and keep docs clean
Use after executing a task directory - verifies implementation against plan.md, acceptance checks, and anti-goals
Use when starting any conversation - establishes skill selection and the local task-doc workflow

<codex_compat> This skill was ported from Claude Code. In Codex:
SKILL.md from disk.spawn_agent (dispatch in parallel when needed).<skill_overview> Completion claims without fresh verification are not acceptable. Evidence first. </skill_overview>
<rigidity_level> LOW FREEDOM - No exceptions. Run the command, read the output, then make the claim. </rigidity_level>
<quick_reference>
| Claim | Required evidence |
|---|---|
| Tests pass | Fresh test output with no failures |
| Build succeeds | Fresh build output with exit 0 |
| Task slice complete | Updated tasks.md plus verification evidence |
| Feature complete | Acceptance checks in plan.md satisfied with evidence |
Not sufficient: “should work”, “looks done”, or stale output. </quick_reference>
