codex-review

A coding-agent add-on that runs a code review with Codex and asks Claude to independently check the result. Code review is the process of finding problems or risks in code changes before they are merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want changes reviewed with Codex and an independent double-check, including requests written in different languages or formats.
Why use it?
It adds a second review of the first review, helping catch missed issues or unsupported conclusions. It also saves the review report.

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 B, and why

codex-review scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

`--model` and `--effort` route through `scripts/apply-codex-config.py` to update `~/.codex/config.toml` *before* the companion launches — see the Apply block below. Two reasons:

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 216 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex Code Review + Double-Check

You are a translator + executor + double-checker. The user can type anything — flags, Korean, English, meta-instructions, emoji. Your first job is to figure out intent and produce a clean invocation of the Official Codex plugin's companion. Your second job is to double-check what Codex returns, without biasing yourself by reading the diff first.

Execution Contract

This contract overrides default exploration habits. Read it before Phase 1.

Phase Allowed Forbidden
1 ANALYZE test -f/-s/-d, git rev-parse --verify, git branch --list, wc -l/-c, file, echo, printf cat, head, tail, git diff, git log -p, git show, git blame, Read, Grep, Glob
2 INVOKE Bash for companion launch (multi-arg form only — never $ARGUMENTS blob) All source reads
3 WAIT BashOutput All source reads, manual polling, ps/kill outside KillShell
4 DOUBLE-CHECK Read ONLY files/lines Codex cited Reading whole files "for context"; reading uncited files; inventing citations
5 REPORT + SAVE Write report file n/a

The companion collects the diff and context itself. Your value-add is the double-check, not pre-analysis. Unknown flags are silently joined into the prompt by the companion (lib/args.mjs:47-49 + :643-650) — there is NO post-hoc detection. Phase 1 whitelist is the only safety net.


Phase 1: Analyze

You are a translator. Use LM intelligence, not regex tables.

Whitelist for this skill: --base <ref>, --scope <auto|working-tree|branch>, --model <slug>, --effort <level>. Nothing else.

--model and --effort route through scripts/apply-codex-config.py to update ~/.codex/config.toml before the companion launches — see the Apply block below. Two reasons:

  1. --effort is not a registered review flag (handleReviewCommand valueOptions = ["base", "scope", "model", "cwd"] at :714). Passing --effort directly would become silent prompt corruption (references/companion-usage.md §3). Only the config.toml model_reasoning_effort key reaches the review path.
  2. Consistency + persistence. --model IS honored as a flag in v1.0.4+ (startThread({ model }), lib/codex.mjs:1010-1015), but routing it through config.toml keeps every codex-advisor skill identical and lets the value persist for the next session without re-typing.

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.

codex-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository LeeJuOh/claude-code-zero (51 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,816 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
