What model does the Codex Reviewer use?

The skill utilizes OpenAI's specialized GPT-5-Codex model via the Codex CLI to provide an independent, third-party perspective on your codebase.

Do I need a separate subscription to use this?

You must have the Codex CLI installed and be authenticated via an OpenAI/ChatGPT account or API key to successfully execute the reviews.

Is it safe to let Codex access my code?

Yes. This skill is strictly configured to use a read-only sandbox mode. Codex can analyze and report on your files but lacks permission to modify any code in your workspace.

How does this differ from Claude's standard code analysis?

While Claude provides excellent context-aware analysis, Codex acts as a separate auditor with a different model bias. Combining both helps surface edge cases and errors that a single reviewer might miss.

Can this skill help with Pull Request reviews?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for running git diffs and providing detailed feedback on branch changes, focusing on breaking changes, performance, and security.

Herramientas de Colaboración

Leverages OpenAI's Codex CLI to provide unbiased, independent code reviews and architectural validation directly within Claude Code.

Acerca de

The Codex Reviewer skill empowers developers to obtain a specialized 'second opinion' by invoking OpenAI's GPT-5-Codex model for deep code analysis. By executing Codex in a mandatory read-only sandbox, this skill identifies security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and architectural inconsistencies that might be overlooked by a single AI agent. It is designed for high-stakes scenarios like pull request validation, security audits, and comparing implementation code against technical specifications, providing a synthesized report that highlights consensus and divergent insights between Claude and Codex.
