Codex Advisor

Overview

Use OpenAI's Codex CLI as a second-opinion advisor when you need external validation on plans, code reviews, or are stuck on hard problems. This skill uses non-interactive mode (codex exec) for scripted/automated usage.

When to Use

• Reviewing implementation plans before starting work
• Code review for complex or security-sensitive changes
• Architecture decisions with significant trade-offs
• Debugging problems where you've been stuck for >30 minutes
• Getting alternative approaches to a solution
• Validating assumptions about unfamiliar codebases

Prerequisites

• OpenAI API key or ChatGPT Plus/Pro/Business account
• Codex CLI installed
