phx-codex-loop

phx-codex-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,542 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of codex-loop, MIT.

A bounded review-and-fix cycle that uses the Codex command-line tool as an external reviewer for Elixir and Phoenix changes. It verifies fixes before sending the changes for another review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review committed or uncommitted changes, fix accepted findings, run compilation and tests, and repeat the review for a limited number of rounds.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of opening a pull request with known review findings or code that does not compile or pass its tests.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; reads ~/.codex paths; runs codex exec.

Good fit Use it to review committed or uncommitted changes, fix accepted findings, run compilation and tests, and repeat the review for a limited number of rounds.

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

phx-codex-loop 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex Loop (fix until clean)

Critic→Refiner loop with the Codex CLI as external critic: review → fix approved findings → verify → re-review, until codex is clean or rounds run out. Codex reviews; Claude fixes. Complements phx-review (Claude panel) — run either or both before a PR.

Usage

phx-codex-loop                    # diff vs default branch, interactive
phx-codex-loop --uncommitted      # staged + unstaged + untracked
phx-codex-loop --base develop     # explicit base branch
phx-codex-loop --auto             # auto-approve P0/P1/P2, skip P3
phx-codex-loop --max-rounds 2     # default 3

Iron Laws

  1. BOUNDED rounds — never exceed --max-rounds (default 3) — each round costs codex quota; report remaining findings instead of looping on
  2. Verify BEFORE re-review — mix compile --warnings-as-errors + tests must pass before burning a codex round on broken code
  3. NEVER commit or push — leave git to the user
  4. Codex findings get Iron Law scrutiny — decline suggestions that violate an Iron Law, with explanation in the round report
  5. Skipped findings are reported, never dropped — every finding ends as fixed, declined (with reason), or deferred-by-user
  6. Missing CLI stops the skill with an install hint — suggest phx-review as the codex-free alternative; never crash

Workflow

Step 1: Preflight

Run command -v codex. If missing: STOP. Show the install hint (brew install codex or npm i -g @openai/codex, then codex login; codex doctor to diagnose) and suggest phx-review.

Then two cheap checks that save review rounds:

  • Dirty tree (git status --short, only when using --base): codex inspects working-tree state too and WILL flag local dirt (stray edits, dirty submodules) as findings. Surface the dirt and ask: clean/stash first, or proceed knowing round 1 may spend findings on it.
  • Missing rubric: if AGENTS.md has no ## Review guidelines section, note once that phx-init installs the Elixir rubric that steers codex priorities — then proceed (it works without, on defaults).

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
