Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, it requires the codex CLI to be installed and configured as it invokes the 'codex exec' command to process the review.

What format does the review feedback come in?

Feedback is structured into four specific sections: Blocking Issues, Non-blocking Issues, Outstanding Questions, and Further Ideas.

What is the codex-review skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to send technical artifacts to OpenAI's Codex for an independent, high-reasoning review to ensure design quality.

Does codex-review handle sensitive information?

The skill is designed to strip sensitive data like API keys, tokens, and credentials from the content before it is sent to the external Codex model.

When is the best time to invoke a Codex review?

It is most effective during early phases like brainstorming, requirement gathering, and design documentation when architectural issues are cheapest to fix.

セキュリティとテスト

Requests a second perspective from OpenAI's Codex models to identify gaps, risks, and architectural flaws in technical designs and implementations.

概要

The codex-review skill bridges Claude with OpenAI's Codex ecosystem to provide an independent 'second pair of eyes' on technical work. By invoking high-reasoning models via the codex CLI, it specializes in scrutinizing brainstorming sessions, requirement documents, and system architectures to catch critical logic errors and design flaws before implementation begins. It provides a structured feedback loop categorized by severity—Blocking, Non-blocking, Questions, and Ideas—helping developers refine their reasoning and ensure robust software design through multi-model validation.
