codex-advisor

codex-advisor is a skill for Claude Code from and3r817/dot-claude-plugins. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,838 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An advisory skill for getting engineering feedback from Codex, an AI coding assistant. It supports open-ended discussion and structured reviews of important technical choices, without changing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Brainstorming solutions, reviewing code or architecture, comparing technologies, and evaluating high-stakes engineering decisions.
Why use it?
It provides a separate review of architecture, designs, code, technology choices, or plans before implementation. This helps surface trade-offs and risks before work begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

codex-advisor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Codex Advisor

Use this skill to consult Codex as a senior engineering advisor through two specialized collaboration modes: Chat for peer brainstorming and Consensus for structured evaluation. Invoke Codex strictly for advisory consultation—it provides analysis and recommendations while Claude handles all code implementation.

Collaboration Modes

Chat Mode — Peer brainstorming for exploring solutions, trade-offs, and validation. Use for iterative problem-solving and technical discussions. See references/chat-pattern.md for detailed guidance.

Consensus Mode — Structured evaluation for major decisions. Provides 7-dimension assessment with verdict and confidence scoring. Use for high-stakes architectural or technology decisions. See references/consensus-pattern.md for detailed guidance.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke Codex for advisory consultation on architecture, design decisions, code review, technology selection, and strategic planning. Codex provides analysis and recommendations only—all code implementation uses Claude's tools directly.

Do not use for: Simple questions, actual code writing, or file modifications.

Collaboration Workflow

Step 1: Load Project Context (Always Do This First)

Before consulting Codex, gather project-specific context to ensure recommendations align with established constraints:

Required:

  1. Read ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md for global project principles and constraints
  2. Extract key information:
    • Core principles (e.g., "INVESTIGATE BEFORE CHANGING", "MINIMAL SURGICAL CHANGES")
    • Forbidden patterns or practices
    • Architecture constraints
    • Code style requirements
    • Security/quality standards

Optional:

  • If project-specific ./AGENTS.md exists in current directory, read it for additional context

Usage:

  • Include extracted constraints in your prompt to Codex, OR
  • Add them as context in the developer-instructions parameter

Example context to include:

Project constraints from CLAUDE.md:
- INVESTIGATE BEFORE CHANGING: debug systematically first
- MINIMAL SURGICAL CHANGES: change only what's requested
- FOLLOW EXISTING PATTERNS: match codebase conventions
- No placeholders or fallback implementations

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
