Use case / PAS-003
Validate JSON config or syntax errors
User Problem
A user has a JSON settings problem and needs Codex to explain the error, suggest a safe correction, and define how to confirm the fix.
Proof Claim Boundary
Operator dogfooding and product capability evidence only; no natural demand, GEO success, AI citation, AI recommendation, traffic, lead, revenue, or conversion claim.
Manual install only: yes. Hosted execution: false.
Sanitized Prompt
I want Codex to check a JSON settings file, explain what is wrong, suggest the safe correction, and tell me how to confirm it works.
When To Use
- A user has a JSON settings problem and needs Codex to explain the error, suggest a safe correction, and define how to confirm the fix.
- Use this workflow when the expected output is parse diagnosis; suggested normalized json; validation command.
When Not To Use
- Do not use this workflow to bypass the stated safety boundary: L2 local file edits with review. Any file write requires explicit user confirmation.
- Do not treat the tested workflow as evidence of natural demand, AI citation, AI recommendation, traffic, lead, or conversion improvement.

How Codex Explains And Executes The Plan
Inspect the JSON, identify syntax or structure issues, propose a minimal correction, and provide validation steps before applying any edit.
What You Need To Confirm
- Confirm the sanitized task inputs, expected output, and scope before Codex starts.
- Confirm whether Codex should return a plan only or may make reviewed local changes.
- Approve any manual package download, local file change, command execution, account action, or deployment separately.
- Review the verification checklist and stop if the result crosses the stated risk boundary.
Expected Output
Parse diagnosis; suggested normalized JSON; validation command.
Verification Checklist
- Corrected JSON parses and preserves intended keys and values.
- Expected schema is used when available.
- Any file write requires explicit confirmation.
Risk Boundary
L2 local file edits with review. Any file write requires explicit user confirmation.
- manual_install_only
- true
- hosted_execution
- false
What Was Not Done
No file edit is implied, no secrets are included, no production config is changed, and no deploy is run.
