WAVES — Workers · Aggregate · Verify · Extend (Codex)

Run wave-based orchestration with Codex subagents. A wave is a bounded round of isolated workers in parallel, then a round that verifies what came back, then a deliberate decision to build on it — not an open-ended loop. Use this skill when a task is too broad for one clean linear pass but can be split into independent slices. You are the manager: discover the problem shape, stage and verify coverage, decompose it, spawn bounded Codex workers, collect one structured handoff from each worker, verify important claims, and synthesize the final deliverable.

The shape of every wave — WAVE: Workers fan out across disjoint slices -> Aggregate their handoffs -> Verify the evidence (the moat) -> Extend into another wave only when warranted. A loop doesn't know when to stop; a wave does, because verification is the stop function. (Invoke deliberately - a run spawns more agents than usual.)
