What problem does it solve? When an AI code review flags an issue, you cannot tell whether it is a real defect or a false positive without an independent check, and rubber-stamping dismissals risks shipping real bugs. This Skill sends the finding to a fresh Codex thread for blind verification, then maps the verdict through severity-graded policy thresholds so dismissals are auditable and abuse-resistant. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three verification intents: dismiss (false-positive check), confirm (does the issue exist), and clarify (what is the actual impact), each with its own audit token ([DISMISS_VERDICT] or [SEEK_VERDICT]). - Anti-anchoring protocol: Claude's hypothesis is recorded locally but never sent to Codex, and a fresh thread is always used so the verdict is genuinely independent. - Graduated policy mapping: P0/P1 dismissals produce only DISMISS_CANDIDATE and require human confirmation, while P2/Nit dismissals can be automated at lower confidence thresholds. - Anti-abuse guards: three consecutive dismissals trigger heightened thresholds, and confirm/clarify are capped at one per finding per commit. - Use Case: A review flags a P1 race condition you believe is a false positive. Run seek-verdict with intent=dismiss; Codex independently inspects the diff and returns NON_ACTIONABLE at 0.92 confidence, producing a DISMISS_CANDIDATE that a human confirms before the finding is closed. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to verify a review finding with seek-verdict, for example: "Use seek-verdict to check whether the P1 finding in auth/session.go is a false positive."

Frequently Asked Questions about seek-verdict

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify whether a code review finding is a false positive?▼

Run seek-verdict with intent=dismiss on the finding. It packages the finding without Claude's hypothesis, gets a blind verdict from a fresh Codex thread, and maps the result through severity-based confidence thresholds before authorizing any dismissal.

What is the difference between dismiss, confirm, and clarify intents?▼

Dismiss checks if a finding is a false positive and can authorize closing it. Confirm checks whether the issue actually exists, and clarify assesses how broad its impact is. Confirm and clarify are informational only and never authorize dismissal.

Can P0 or P1 findings be dismissed automatically?▼

No. P0 and P1 dismissals only produce DISMISS_CANDIDATE, which requires explicit human confirmation in the same session. Even at confidence 1.0, a candidate can never auto-convert to DISMISS_VERIFIED.

How does the skill prevent anchoring bias in the second opinion?▼

Claude's dismiss hypothesis is recorded locally but never included in the Codex prompt, and verification always uses a fresh thread rather than the original review session. The prompt explicitly instructs Codex not to assume the finding is true or false.

What happens if I dismiss too many findings in one session?▼

Three consecutive DISMISS_VERIFIED results trigger a [DISMISS_PATTERN_WARN] and raise all thresholds by +0.05 confidence and +1 evidence reference. Counters reset on session end or branch switch.

When should I not use seek-verdict?▼

Do not use it for general code review (use codex-code-review), architecture debates (use codex-brainstorm), or nit findings with no dismiss intent. It is specifically for independent verdicts on existing review findings.
