Codex Review

Run an independent code review via the OpenAI Codex CLI (codex review). The value is a second opinion from a different model family than the one that wrote the code — Codex catches things Claude misses due to author bias.

Complements brains-trust (generic multi-model opinions). This skill is specialised: git-aware, uses a tuned review prompt, saves structured output.

When to Use

• After a meaningful change, before committing or shipping
• Before opening a PR, to self-review with an independent reviewer
• When something feels off but you can't articulate what
• Periodic whole-app reviews for projects in active development
• When the user explicitly asks for an "independent" or "second opinion" review

Do NOT use for:

• Trivial changes (typos, one-line fixes)
• Research questions or architecture discussions — use brains-trust instead
• Auto-fixing issues — this is advisory only
