Codex Review Branch
Thin entry-point skill — routes to the parent skill for full workflow.
Parent Skill
This is the Branch variant of codex-code-review. Full workflow, prompt templates, and review logic are defined in the parent skill.
See @skills/codex-code-review/SKILL.md
Variant
| Property | Value |
|---|
| Scope | Full branch (all commits since base) |
| Pre-checks | None |
| Prompt template | @skills/codex-code-review/references/codex-prompt-branch.md |
| Reviewers | Codex alone. --dual adds a secondary reviewer — off unless the flag is passed |
| Tier | thorough (this is the depth variant — P0/P1/P2 block, round cap 30) |
Flags
| Flag | Default | Effect |
|---|
--dual | off | Adds a second reviewer in parallel (see parent skill Step 3). The merge happens in conversation — no state write, no mode field, and the next invocation starts single again unless the flag is passed again. A second opinion that can block this review's gate. Use for releases, security-sensitive changes, and public API surfaces. |
--dual is the only code-review entry point where two reviewers run. /codex-review-fast and /codex-review-doc are single-reviewer by design and offer no such flag: the cost of the second opinion is only worth paying where the change warrants it, and this is that variant. /plan-review --dual is the plan-mode counterpart — same opt-in shape, same default of off, a different loop.
