codex-code-reviewer

codex-code-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from VCnoC/Claude-Code-Zen-mcp-Skill-Work. It costs 96 tokens per session (3,475 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A systematic workflow for reviewing recently generated code with the Codex command-line tool against project rules and quality standards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly want Codex to inspect generated or recently changed code, suggest fixes, apply approved changes, and review the result again.
Why use it?
It catches code problems through repeated review and validation instead of stopping after the first check. In interactive mode, it presents proposed fixes for approval before applying them.

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-code-reviewer 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 Code Reviewer

Overview

This skill provides a systematic, iterative code review workflow powered by zen mcp's codex tool. It automatically checks recently modified code files against project standards (CLAUDE.md requirements), presents identified issues to users for approval, applies fixes, and re-validates until code quality standards are met or the maximum iteration limit is reached.

Operation Modes:

  • Interactive Mode (Default): Present issues to user, wait for approval before applying fixes
  • Full Automation Mode: Automatically select and apply all suggested fixes without user approval (activated when user initially requests "full automation" or "complete automation")

When to Use This Skill

Trigger this skill when the user says:

  • "Use codex to check the code"
  • "Please help me check if the recently generated code has any issues"
  • "Check the code after each generation"
  • Similar requests for code quality validation using codex

Workflow: Iterative Code Review Cycle

Prerequisites

Before starting the review cycle:

  1. ** Read Operation Mode from Context (automation_mode - READ FROM SSOT):**
    • automation_mode definition and constraints: See CLAUDE.md「📚 共享概念速查」
    • This skill's role: Skill Layer (read-only), read from context [AUTOMATION_MODE: true/false], true → auto-fix / false → ask user

1a. Read Coverage Target from Context (coverage_target - READ FROM SSOT):

  • coverage_target definition and constraints: See CLAUDE.md「📚 共享概念速查」
  • This skill's role: Skill Layer (read-only), read from context [COVERAGE_TARGET: X%], validate coverage (≥ target pass, < 70% reject)
  1. Identify Files to Review:

    • Use git status or similar to identify recently modified files
    • Interactive Mode (automation_mode = false): Confirm with user which files should be reviewed
    • Automated Mode (automation_mode = true): Auto-select all recently modified files, log decision to auto_log.md
  2. Initialize iteration counter: current_iteration = 1

  3. Set maximum iterations: max_iterations = 5

  4. Initialize review tool tracker: first_review_done = false

  5. Detect Review Context:

    • Check if this is final quality validation (project completion/final verification)
    • If YES: Enable Final Validation Mode (requires minimum 2 passes: codereview + clink)
    • If NO: Use Standard Review Mode

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.
