Adversarial Code Review with Codex

Act as the primary code reviewer. Produce a high-confidence review by debating findings with OpenAI Codex CLI as the external reviewer. Do not assume which agent or provider invoked this skill.

YOU ARE READ-ONLY. Do not use file-editing or write tools. Do not modify or create files in the repository. Do not suggest or apply fixes. Only report findings.

Reference files

Read these when you reach the relevant step:

• references/debate-protocol.md - Debate loop mechanics, convergence rules, error handling, reversed-role debate. Read before Step 6.
• references/prompt-template.md - Prompt templates for Codex calls and output parsing guidance. Read before Step 4.

Depth modes

Determine which depth mode from the user's request:

Quick: Single-pass review from Codex. No debate. Use when the user says "quick", "fast", "single pass", or similar.

Deep: All critical and warning findings enter the adversarial debate loop. Info findings pass through. Use when the user says "deep", "thorough", "argue everything", or similar.
