What is the main benefit of using the Codex skill?

It provides a second, independent perspective to validate architectural decisions and review code, helping to reduce errors and mitigate anchoring bias during the design phase.

Does this skill work with my local uncommitted changes?

Yes, the codex-review tool includes an 'uncommitted' preset specifically designed to review staged, unstaged, and untracked changes in your workspace.

When should I avoid using the Codex Collaboration skill?

You should avoid using it for simple, straightforward tasks or time-sensitive operations where the additional latency of consulting a second model isn't justified.

Is the Codex session secure?

Yes, all Codex sessions are executed in a read-only sandbox mode, ensuring that the sub-agent can analyze your code without making unauthorized modifications.

Collaboration Tools

Enables proactive collaboration with OpenAI Codex for architectural validation, multi-turn brainstorming, and comprehensive code reviews.

About

This skill integrates OpenAI Codex as a secondary intelligence layer within your development workflow to provide independent validation for complex architectural decisions and system designs. By treating Codex as a collaborative sub-agent, Claude can cross-reference implementation plans, perform deep code reviews—including uncommitted changes and specific PR branches—and offer a second perspective on refactoring efforts. It is particularly effective for high-stakes technical planning where independent verification and multi-model consensus improve overall code quality and system reliability.

Key Features

Multi-turn discussion capabilities via context-aware session replies
Specialized review modes for uncommitted changes, commits, or base branches
Read-only sandbox environments for safe architectural exploration
Interactive brainstorming sessions with OpenAI Codex integration
Automated plan validation to eliminate anchoring bias in system design
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Getting a second opinion on system design decisions to ensure best practices
Conducting PR-style reviews of local changes against a base branch
Validating complex architectural refactors before starting implementation
