Engineering method layer for Codex.

Method as exponent. Not machinery.

Servotab changes how Codex plans, builds, debugs, reviews, and verifies repository work. Clear changes stay direct. Higher-risk work receives stronger method and fresh evidence.

Tab moves first. Work responds. Evidence settles.

01 / Two paths

Direct when clear. Deliberate when risk demands it.

Method follows the repository task. It never replaces the work or turns every request into the same process.

path / direct

Clear local change

A bounded, reversible edit stays on the shortest useful path: inspect the relevant source, make the change, run the focused check, and close.

path / method

Risky repository change

A selected method adds the planning, diagnosis, isolation, review, or verification the task genuinely needs—bounded to the real risk.

02 / Product promises

Controlled leverage, without process theatre.

Four behaviors hold the line between useful method and unnecessary machinery.

directClear changes stay direct.
methodRisk brings stronger method.
closureFresh evidence closes the loop.
scopeThe requested outcome stays whole.

A small method, placed precisely.

Servotab’s candidate method set spans design, execution, debugging, review, verification, isolation, delegation, and closure. The router chooses depth proportionately; explicit method names remain available when a person wants precise control.

Servotab is being prepared for public release. It is not currently listed in the OpenAI plugin directory, so this site does not present an installation action.
