Ponder for Codex: Track Coverage in a Multi-Pass Editorial Review
Use a tracked review loop to check every named section of a small document through multiple passes. Rehearse coverage checks in a practice folder before using a real knowledge base.
中文Setup for Codex
Use Codex with the Ponder skill and its upstream Node-powered CLI available on PATH. The bundled harness notes cover Codex and POSIX installation. Keep the exercise inside a disposable workspace.
- Copy the pinned skills/ponder folder into .agents/skills/ponder. Install the separate Quinnod345/ponder CLI from a reviewed upstream checkout following the bundled harness notes, then confirm ponder doctor succeeds.
- Open the practice checkout in a fresh Codex turn and select $ponder. Begin with ponder list and restrict the review to the two units named by your prompt.
Example task
Provide one markdown file with Setup and Verification headings. Setup says the app starts on port 8000 while Verification checks port 8001. Ask Ponder for a consistency review of precisely those two named units and tell it to keep all review state in the practice folder.Expected result
The ledger covers both units, records the port discrepancy, and keeps both sections in scope through subsequent passes. Review the status and the per-unit evidence before treating the project as converged.

Frequently asked question
How can I tell whether a Ponder pass skipped a section?
List the expected units before starting and compare them with the engine's coverage status. A skipped unit should remain visible and block a complete sweep.
