Codex CLI Review Skill
Trigger
- Keywords: codex cli review, cli review, script review
When to Use
- Need Codex to independently explore the entire project (full disk read)
- Don't need MCP's context persistence feature
- Want to use Codex CLI's native review format
When NOT to Use
- Need iterative review (use
/codex-review-fast --continue) - Need to follow up with Codex (use MCP version)
- Only want to see diff without waiting for Codex exploration (use
/codex-review-fast)
Difference from MCP Version
| Feature | CLI Version (this skill) | MCP Version |
|---|---|---|
| Independent explore | Full disk read | Needs explicit instruction |
| Context persistence | None | threadId |
| Iterative review | Each run independent | --continue |
| Format | Codex native format | Custom prompt format |
| Execution method | Script invocation | MCP tool invocation |

├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ codex review --uncommitted │
│ -c 'sandbox_permissions=["disk-full-read-access"]' │

│ Codex will independently: │
│ - Read changed files │
│ - Explore related dependencies │
│ - Check existing tests │
│ - Understand project structure │
