Independent second-opinion verification for any finding. Use when: Claude or user wants independent Codex verification of a review finding — dismiss (false positive check), confirm (does this issue exist?), or clarify (what's the impact?). Triggers: dismiss verification, seek verdict, verify dismiss, false positive check, second opinion, confirm finding, clarify impact. Not for: general code review (use codex-code-review), architecture debates (use codex-brainstorm). Output: [DISMISS_VERDICT]…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# seek-verdict: Independent Second-Opinion Verification

## When NOT to Use

- General code review (use `/codex-review-fast`)
- Architecture debates (use `/codex-brainstorm`)
- Nit findings with no dismiss intent (use `[NIT_DEFERRED]`)

## Intent x Severity

| Intent | Purpose | Eligible Severities | Output Token |
|--------|---------|-------------------|-------------|
| `dismiss` | Is this a false positive? | All (P0/P1/P2/Nit) | `[DISMISS_VERDICT]` |
| `confirm` | Does this issue actually exist? | All | `[SEEK_VERDICT]` |
| `clarify` | What's the actual impact? | All | `[SEEK_VERDICT]` |

**Default intent**: `dismiss` (backward compatible with v1).

### Dismiss Authorization

| Severity | Authorization | Gate |
|----------|-------------|------|
| P0 | `DISMISS_CANDIDATE` | Human confirmation required |
| P1 | `DISMISS_CANDIDATE` | Human confirmation required |
| P2 | `DISMISS_VERIFIED` | Automated |
| Nit | `DISMISS_VERIFIED` | Automated |

P0/P1 dismiss produces a candidate, not a final authorization. See [Policy Mapping](references/policy-mapping.md) for human gate protocol.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/seek-verdict@sha256:42415c6604d976fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.5607031, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
