Individual skill

codex-review

Run an independent code review using the OpenAI Codex CLI in headless mode. Gets a second opinion from a different model family (the current Codex models) on recent changes, a PR, a commit, or the whole app — covering bugs, regressions, security, data consistency, UX/state bugs, performance risks, and testing gaps. Saves a severity-prioritised report to .jez/reviews/. Triggers: 'codex review', 'review with codex', 'independent code review', 'what does codex think', 'get codex to review'.

# Codex Review

Run an independent code review via the OpenAI Codex CLI (`codex review`). The value is a second opinion from a **different model family** than the one that wrote the code — Codex catches things Claude misses due to author bias.

Complements `brains-trust` (generic multi-model opinions). This skill is specialised: git-aware, uses a tuned review prompt, saves structured output.

## When to Use

- After a meaningful change, before committing or shipping
- Before opening a PR, to self-review with an independent reviewer
- When something feels off but you can't articulate what
- Periodic whole-app reviews for projects in active development
- When the user explicitly asks for an "independent" or "second opinion" review
