gsd-validate-phase is a skill for Codex from SpillwaveSolutions/agent-brain. It costs 19 tokens per session (661 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project workflow tool that checks a completed phase for missing Nyquist validation. Nyquist validation is a review of whether planned work was properly tested or verified.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a finished phase and add the validation work needed to cover its gaps.
Why use it?
It helps find verification gaps after a phase was marked complete, when missing checks may otherwise go unnoticed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gsd-validate-phase scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

<codex_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

  • This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-validate-phase.
  • Treat all user text after $gsd-validate-phase as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
  • If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

  • headerheader
  • questionquestion
  • Options formatted as "Label" — description{label: "Label", description: "description"}
  • Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

  • AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

Multi-select workaround:

  • Codex has no multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:

  • When request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.

C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping

GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:

  • Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
  • Task(model="...") → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
  • fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

Parallel fan-out:

  • Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → wait(ids) for all to complete

Result parsing:

  • Look for structured markers in agent output: CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
  • close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
