What it does
A feature or system taken from spec to built and approved, with a second model attacking the plan before any code is written and building it afterwards, and you judging the result against the spec on evidence.
Who uses it

What you need
You bring:
- the ask in one line
- the Codex companion plugin installed
- a git repository to change
How it works5
The steps, in order. The method itself is served whole through the connector, current on every use.
- 1
Write the spec and the plan
- 2
Let Codex attack them until approved
- 3
Transfer and let Codex build
- 4
Judge the diff against the spec
- 5
Approve and deliver, or escalate at the round cap
What it doesn't do
- Research, content writing or reviews of existing work
- Anything outward-facing, which still needs a human
When your AI reaches for it
Use when the operator invokes /ascend-build-loop or asks to take a feature/system from idea to built with a second model gating the work — "spec it, get Codex to tear it apart, then build", "run the build loop on this", "Codex reviews, you approve". For build tasks with code output. NOT for pure research, reviews of existing work, or content writing.
