Codex Verification Loop for Build, Test, and Diff Checks
Discover which checks the project actually defines, run the relevant build and test sequence, and report readiness with concrete failures and gaps. Use it after a code change or refactor before handing off work.
中文Install in Codex
Codex and the target checkout with its required dependencies and toolchain. The project's own configuration defines the relevant checks.
- Copy `codex-skills/skills/verification-loop/` from the pinned espensev/ai-skills source into the consumer repo. The source documents a `.codex/skills/` layout. A discoverable `.agents/skills/` project directory also works for the skill folder.
- Open the project in Codex and invoke `$verification-loop` with the changed area and any time constraint.
Example task
After editing a price-formatting function in a Go practice project, ask the skill to identify the documented build and test commands and verify the affected formatter.What to check
Expect a report that distinguishes build, static checks, tests, and diff review, with a reason for each skipped check.
