Performs automated, cross-model code reviews using the Codex CLI to eliminate self-approval bias and catch complex bugs.

This skill enables Claude to conduct rigorous, multi-pass code reviews by leveraging the Codex CLI as an external validator. By using a secondary model architecture to review Claude’s output, it eliminates the systematic biases inherent in single-model self-reviews and catches a wider range of bug classes. It supports various review patterns, including pre-PR checks, security-focused deep dives, and iterative 'Ralph Loops,' ensuring high-quality, production-ready code through structured diff analysis and adjustable reasoning depth.

Key Features

01Structured diff reviews with prioritized findings for PRs and commits
