Risk-scaled repository methods
Servotab helps Codex plan, implement, debug, review, and verify repository work. It keeps clear changes direct, adds stronger method only when risk or uncertainty requires it, and closes claims with fresh evidence while preserving the complete requested outcome.
What you can ask Use $servotab to fix this repository bug, identify the root cause, implement the complete repair, and verify it. Copy
Use $review to inspect this diff and report only verified, actionable correctness and regression findings. Use $spec-chain to turn this approved specification into a complete implementation plan without shrinking its scope. Skills 13 in the ChatGPT listing
Debug Investigate and fix bugs, failing tests, regressions, build failures, or unexpected behavior using boundary localization, evidence, and bounded hypotheses. Delegate Choose responsibility for substantial work before deep execution: keep one responsibility's coupled parts in a single lane, and hand a bounded or independent lane to a worker when clean context, an unknown cause, independent review, or coordinator attention materially improves the outcome. Design Turn a rough feature, product interaction, or architecture idea into a concrete design. Execute Implement a settled request or current execution strategy through connected slices, feed observations into the same task record, and revise affected work when evidence changes. Finish Finish a development change safely by inspecting the final tree, verifying at the right scope, and performing only the requested Git or PR actions. Incorporate Assess, adapt, and apply specified discussions, feedback, findings, or references to existing project work. Plan Form and maintain execution strategy when order, effort, evidence timing or recovery materially affects the outcome, even with a settled goal. Review Review a diff, commit, branch, PR, or implementation for actionable correctness and risk issues without duplicate reviewer loops or invented findings. Servotab Use for hands-on repository work when a quiet, risk-scaled engineering method can improve design, execution strategy, implementation, material incorporation, debugging, review, delegation, workspace lifecycle, or verification. Spec Chain Preserve an approved specification through a complete implementation plan and execution. TDD Apply risk-based test-driven development to bugs, domain logic, state transitions, parsers, contracts, migrations, and behavior where a failing test sharpens the design. Verify Verify code or product claims after changes using fresh, risk-matched evidence. Worktree Choose, reuse, restore, park, or clean up Git workspaces while preserving work and host ownership.
