Feature: verification commands for plans, trackers, and prior output #10

Description

Problem

Codex is valuable not just for reviewing diffs but for verifying other artifacts that Claude produces: implementation plans, task trackers, and Claude's own output. Currently there's no structured way to ask Codex to verify these.

Proposal

Add verification commands:

/codex:verify-plan

  • Reads the active plan or handoff document
  • Asks Codex to check: feasibility, missing steps/dependencies, risk areas, operation ordering, alternative approaches
  • Returns structured verdict (PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL)

/codex:verify-output

  • Captures Claude's most recent substantive output
  • Asks Codex to independently verify correctness, completeness, and missed edge cases
  • Cross-model verification: catches blind spots from a different model's perspective

/codex:verify-tracker (more niche, could be deferred)

  • Reads implementation tracker files (YAML/markdown)
  • Verifies: task completeness, metrics consistency, phase dependencies, blocker tracking

Why this matters

Cross-model verification is one of the strongest use cases for having Codex alongside Claude. If Claude produces a plan, having Codex independently check it catches assumptions and blind spots that same-model self-review misses.
