codex-exec-review

name	codex-exec-review
description	Use before presenting implementation plans and after non-trivial commits that require review. Runs codex exec in read-only review mode, handles resume, MCP transport errors, and review timeout semantics.

Codex Exec Review

Required Gates

• Before presenting an implementation plan to the user, run codex exec to review the plan.
• After a non-trivial commit, run codex exec to review the committed change.
• Repeat review up to 3 times. Stop when no critical issue remains.
• Do not replace a required review with local tests or your own judgment.

Review Command Rules

• Use --sandbox read-only.
• Use -c model_reasoning_effort=medium only for review runs.
• Use -c service_tier=fast and -c features.fast_mode=true when appropriate.
• Add --skip-git-repo-check only when the review must run outside a Git repository.
• Instruct the reviewer not to run tests, build, format, install, or generation commands.
• Instruct the reviewer to judge from diffs, configuration, and existing logs only, and to ask if execution results are missing.
• Instruct the reviewer not to start another codex exec or external review command.
• Instruct the reviewer to report only critical issues, and to check whether the answer is out of date or deprecated.

Initial Review Template

codex exec \
  --sandbox read-only \
  --model gpt-5.4 \
  -c model_reasoning_effort=medium \
  -c service_tier=fast \
  -c features.fast_mode=true \
  "このプランをレビューして。read-only sandboxなのでテスト・build・format・install・生成コマンドは実行せず、差分・設定・既存ログの読取だけで判断して。不足する実行結果があれば質問して。別の codex exec や外部レビューコマンドは絶対に起動しないで。瑣末な点へのクソリプはしないで。致命的な点だけ指摘して。回答内容が現時点で out of date / deprecated になっていないかにも気をつけて: {plan_full_path} (ref: {CLAUDE_md_full_path})"

Resume Review Template

Use the same session for updated plan reviews:

codex exec resume <SESSION_ID> \
  "前回の指摘を反映してプランを更新した。もう一度レビューして。read-only sandboxなのでテスト・build・format・install・生成コマンドは実行せず、差分・設定・既存ログの読取だけで判断して。不足する実行結果があれば質問して。別の codex exec や外部レビューコマンドは絶対に起動しないで。瑣末な点へのクソリプはしないで。致命的な点だけ指摘して。新しく追加された問題がなければ、その旨を明示して: {plan_full_path} (ref: {CLAUDE_md_full_path})"

MCP Transport Errors

• codex exec may print MCP transport errors such as http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp connection failures at startup.
• Do not treat those logs alone as a codex exec failure.
• If a final codex response is returned after the error, consider the run successful but degraded.
• Treat the run as failed only when codex exec exits without a final codex answer or without the requested review result.
• Report MCP sidecar or transport failure separately from actual codex exec failure.

Timeout Semantics

• Wait for the final answer before reporting failure:
  • about 15s for trivial prompts
  • about 30-60s for light reviews
  • about 180s for normal review tasks
• If intermediate output is still arriving, keep waiting until the review ends.
• review started but final result not yet returned is not review complete.
• For a required review, if the final answer is missing, try at least one codex exec resume <SESSION_ID> or rerun.
• If the final answer still cannot be recovered, report review incomplete and ask the user how to proceed.
• Do not say a review passed unless the final review answer was obtained.
