Codex Review Plugin
Set up the Codex plugin for Claude Code — cross-model code review and task delegation without leaving your session.
Install
-
Add the marketplace and install the plugin:
/plugin marketplace add openai/codex-plugin-cc /plugin install codex@openai-codex /reload-plugins -
Run setup to verify Codex is ready:
/codex:setupIf Codex isn't installed, it can install it for you. If not logged in:
!codex login -
Verify with a quick test:
/codex:review --background /codex:status /codex:result
Commands
/codex:review
Standard code review on uncommitted changes or a branch diff. Read-only.
/codex:review # review uncommitted changes
/codex:review --base main # review branch vs main
/codex:review --background # run in background
/codex:adversarial-review
Steerable review that challenges design decisions, not just syntax. Append free-form text to focus the review on specific risk areas.
/codex:adversarial-review
/codex:adversarial-review --base main challenge whether this caching strategy handles invalidation correctly
/codex:adversarial-review --background look for race conditions in the auth flow
Use this before shipping:
- auth changes
- infra scripts
- anything involving data loss or migrations
- complex state management
/codex:rescue
Hands a task to Codex when Claude gets stuck or you want a different model's take.
/codex:rescue investigate why the tests started failing
/codex:rescue fix the failing test with the smallest safe patch
/codex:rescue --resume # continue from last run
/codex:rescue --model spark # use a faster/cheaper model
/codex:status, /codex:result, /codex:cancel
Manage background jobs.
/codex:status # check running/recent jobs
/codex:result # get output from finished job
/codex:cancel # cancel active job
Review Gate
Auto-reviews every time Claude finishes. Blocks completion if issues are found.
/codex:setup --enable-review-gate # turn on
/codex:setup --disable-review-gate # turn off
Warning: the review gate creates a Claude/Codex loop that can drain usage limits quickly. Only enable when actively monitoring.
When to Use What
| Situation | Command |
|---|---|
| Pre-ship sanity check | /codex:review |
| Pressure-test design decisions | /codex:adversarial-review |
| Claude is stuck or looping | /codex:rescue |
| Auth, infra, data-loss risk | /codex:adversarial-review with focus text |
| Want continuous cross-model review | review gate (use sparingly) |
Requirements
- ChatGPT subscription (incl. Free) or OpenAI API key
- Node.js 18.18+
- Codex CLI (
npm install -g @openai/codex)
Notes
- This replaces the manual
repomix+llmapproach for cross-model review — same idea, built-in - For review without a ChatGPT subscription, the manual approach in the agent-swarm skill still works with any model
- Works alongside the agent-swarm workflow — use
/codex:adversarial-reviewduring wave review steps instead of manual piping - Codex config lives in
~/.codex/config.toml(user) or.codex/config.toml(project)
