+ #### 2-2. Identifier Verification
80
+ For each identifier specification extracted in Step 1:
81
+ 1. Search implementation files for the exact string
82
+ 2. Compare code values against the Design Doc specification
83
+ 3. Flag discrepancies such as missing references, misspellings, or inconsistent naming
84
+ 4. Evaluate every identifier and update overall totals for matched and mismatched results
85
+ 5. Emit only mismatches in `identifierVerification`, with `{ identifier, designDocValue, codeValue, location, match, confidence, evidence }`
86
+
87
+ Identifier extraction constraints:
88
+ - Only verify identifiers that are explicitly written in the Design Doc as exact values, literals, labeled fields, or code-facing names
89
+ - Do not infer identifiers from descriptive prose, conceptual summaries, or implied naming conventions
90
+ - If the Design Doc names a concept without an exact code-facing value, treat it as a normal Design Doc claim, not an identifier check
91
+
92
+ #### 2-3. Evidence Collection
93
+ For each acceptance criterion and identifier check:
94
+ 1. Primary evidence: direct implementation in source files
95
+ 2. Secondary evidence: corresponding tests
96
+ 3. Tertiary evidence: config, schemas, or type definitions
97
+
98
+ `agreeing sources` means multiple sources independently support the same determination about the same acceptance criterion or identifier. Naming overlap alone is NOT agreement; the evidence must support the same behavior, contract, or exact value match.
99
+
100
+ Assign confidence based on evidence count:
101
+ - high: 3+ agreeing sources
102
+ - medium: 2 agreeing sources
103
+ - low: 1 source only

  ### 3. Assess Code Quality
76
- Read each implementation file and check:
77
- - Function length (ideal: <50 lines, max: 200 lines)
78
- - Nesting depth (ideal: <=3 levels, max: 4 levels)
79
- - Single responsibility adherence
80
- - Error handling implementation
81
- - Appropriate logging
82
- - Test coverage for acceptance criteria
106
+ Read each implementation file and evaluate:
107
+
108
+ #### 3-1. Structural Quality
109
+ For each implementation file, read the concrete functions, handlers, or components in scope and evaluate them against the active coding-rules skill:
110
+ - Function organization: flag `maintainability` when a single function mixes multiple distinct concerns such as validation, orchestration, persistence, and presentation formatting
111
+ - Control-flow clarity: flag `maintainability` when branches, nested conditions, or early-exit patterns make the execution path materially difficult to follow
112
+ - Single responsibility adherence: flag `maintainability` when a function or file has more than one primary responsibility
113
+ - Naming clarity: flag `maintainability` when ambiguous names materially obscure intent, domain meaning, or responsibility
114
+
115
+ #### 3-2. Error Handling and Reliability
116
+ Read error paths and boundary handling directly in the code:
117
+ - Error handling implementation: verify failures are either propagated explicitly or handled with context
118
+ - Explicit failure paths over silent suppression: flag `reliability` when errors are swallowed, converted to defaults without justification, or otherwise hidden from callers and operators
119
+ - Boundary validation: flag `reliability` when external input, deserialized data, or cross-system responses enter important logic without the validation implied by the Design Doc, type contracts, or code boundary shape
120
+
121
+ #### 3-3. Test Coverage for Acceptance Criteria
122
+ - For each fulfilled AC, check whether tests exercise the expected behavior
123
+
124
+ Classify each quality finding into one of:
125
+ - `dd_violation`: implementation deviates from the Design Doc
126
+ - `maintainability`: code structure impedes change or comprehension
127
+ - `reliability`: missing safeguards could cause runtime failure
128
+ - `coverage_gap`: acceptance criteria lack meaningful test verification
129
+
130
+ Each finding MUST include a rationale:
131
+ - `dd_violation`: what the Design Doc says vs what code does
132
+ - `maintainability`: the concrete maintenance or comprehension risk
133
+ - `reliability`: the failure scenario and triggering conditions
134
+ - `coverage_gap`: the untested AC and why coverage matters

  ## Why codex-workflows?
33
35
 
34
- **Without codex-workflows:**
35
- - Code generation is inconsistent across large tasks
36
- - Requirements and design decisions are implicit lost after the session
37
- - Refactoring and debugging become harder as context grows
36
+ Codex is already strong at one-shot implementation. The problem starts when a change spans multiple files, needs design decisions to stay visible, or has to survive review, testing, and follow-up edits.
37
+
38
+ For larger tasks, explicit planning changes the job from raw generation into verification against a design, a task breakdown, and acceptance criteria. That matters because review loops are more reliable than first-shot generation once scope and ambiguity grow.
39
+
40
+ codex-workflows adds the missing structure around those jobs:
41
+ - Traceable artifacts: PRD → Design Doc → Task → Commit
42
+ - Built-in TDD and quality gates before code is ready to commit
43
+ - Agent context separation for large refactors, migrations, and PR-sized changes
44
+ - Diagnosis and reverse-engineering flows for bugs and legacy code

+

+ ## Not Designed For

- **With codex-workflows:**
40
- - Every change is traceable: PRD Design Doc Task → Commit
41
- - Built-in TDD and quality gates catch regressions before commit
42
- - Large tasks stay structured and reviewable through agent context separation
48
+ - One-shot toy scripts or vibe-coding sessions where speed matters more than traceability
49
+ - Repositories that do not use tests, lint, builds, or reviewable commits
50
+ - Teams that do not want design docs, task breakdowns, or explicit quality gates

51
- 2. **Analyze the existing codebase** (dependencies, data layer, risk areas)

- 3. **Design** the solution (ADR, Design Doc with acceptance criteria)
53
- 4. **Break it into tasks** (atomic, 1 commit each)

- 5. **Implement with tests** (TDD per task)
55
- 6. **Run quality checks** (lint, test, build — no failing checks)

+ For larger work, the path usually looks like this: understand the problem, analyze the codebase, design the change, break it into atomic tasks, implement with tests, and run quality checks before commit.

342
+ If your requirements already live in Linear or an existing PRD, [linear-prism](https://github.com/shinpr/linear-prism) can decompose them into implementation-ready tasks by reading the codebase, making dependencies explicit, and preserving Design Doc boundaries.
343
+

  A: `$recipe-implement` is the universal entry point. It runs requirement-analyzer first, detects affected layers from the codebase, and automatically routes to backend, frontend, or fullstack flow. `$recipe-fullstack-implement` skips the detection and goes straight into the fullstack flow (separate Design Docs per layer, design-sync, layer-aware task execution). Use `$recipe-implement` when you're not sure; use `$recipe-fullstack-implement` when you know upfront that the feature spans both layers.
