codex-review-backlog

codex-review-backlog is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArcBlock/agent-skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (1,749 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding unresolved review comments from a Codex bot on recently merged or open GitHub pull requests, then handling the remaining fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for scheduled or manual backlog scans, rechecking findings against the current main branch, fixing straightforward items, and tracking harder ones.
Why use it?
It catches review feedback that arrived too late for the normal pre-merge process and keeps fixes separated into small pull requests.

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-review-backlog 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 5d 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 Review Backlog — post-merge (and open) Codex follow-ups

Why this exists. Codex is usually fast on open PRs (minutes: findings or a single 👍 = no opinions) — that pre-merge path is owned by epic-conductor §6 and pr-sweep short-wait (≤10m), never multi-hour stall. Codex can still post after merge or after the short wait. This skill is the complementary post-merge / late lag sweep: find comments that landed too late for the open-PR loop, triage them on current main, and open small fix PRs (never one mega-PR).

Repo profile first. Read .claude/repo-profile.md for repo_slug, default_branch, verification_entry / pre_merge_entry, comment_language. Arc is the reference implementation.

Usage

/agentloop:codex-review-backlog              # last 24h merged PRs (default daily window)
/agentloop:codex-review-backlog --hours 12   # custom lookback
/agentloop:codex-review-backlog --days 7     # week scan (same as manual audits)
/agentloop:codex-review-backlog --open-too   # also scan open PRs for late Codex
/agentloop:codex-review-backlog --dry-run    # matrix only; no branch/PR/comment

Disposition tags

Tag Meaning
FIXED_LATER Valid when Codex wrote; current main already addresses it
IN_PR Being fixed in an open follow-up PR this run opened/updated
OPEN_EASY Still valid; small scoped fix — implement this run if capacity
OPEN_HARD Still valid; needs design / multi-file / store CAS — track only
REJECT False positive or wrong layer (e.g. build script AFS purity)

Step 0 — Sync main (do not skip)

git fetch origin <default_branch>
git reset --hard origin/<default_branch>
git log --oneline -1

Shared checkouts: stash first if dirty; never blind-wipe human WIP.

Step 1 — Enumerate merged PRs in the window

# example: last 24h (default daily)
SINCE=$(date -u -v-24H +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)   # macOS; Linux: date -u -d '24 hours ago' …
gh pr list --state merged --limit 100 \
  --json number,title,mergedAt,url \
  --search "merged:>=$(date -u -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)"   # broaden day then filter client-side

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.
