Ask Llm Review

---
name: ask-llm-review
description: Get a second opinion from OpenAI Codex on your current code changes. Analyzes staged/unstaged diffs and returns prioritized findings. Use when user asks to "review with Codex", "Codex code review", or "ask Codex to check my code".
---

<!-- PORTABLE-CONTRACT:START -->
## Portable contract

Gather the relevant staged, unstaged, and untracked code changes; build a bounded context brief; request a read-only Codex review at high reasoning effort; verify each reported finding against source; and return only prioritized, source-supported findings. Preserve the configured Sol-to-Terra fallback and disclose it.
<!-- PORTABLE-CONTRACT:END -->

## Host adapters

### Pi adapter

Call the native `ask-codex` tool with `reasoningEffort: "high"` and apply the portable contract above. The review runs inline in the current host context; do not claim subagent isolation.

### Other hosts adapter

Codex, Cursor Agent, Antigravity, Grok Build, Gemini CLI and OpenCode get this skill from their skills folder, not from a plugin. Apply the portable contract above inline, with the Codex call from `transport.md` (next to this file): `model: "gpt-6-astra"`, `reasoningEffort: "high"`, `sandbox: "read-only"`. There is no isolated reviewer subagent on these hosts; do not claim one.

### Claude Code adapter

The existing detailed workflow below is the Claude Code adapter. Its Agent, MCP, hook, `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT`, and `AskUserQuestion` mechanics apply only on Claude Code; they do not override the Pi adapter above.



# Codex Code Review

Review current code changes by delegating to the `codex-reviewer` agent.

## When to use this vs codex-pair

This skill is **precision-first**: confidence ≥ 80, "don't flag style/linter-catchable" filter. Optimized for low false-alarm rate on diff review — appropriate default for routine PRs.

For **recall-first** review on hot-path code (money handling, security paths, spec-implementing code), see the [`codex-pair`](../ask-llm-codex-pair/SKILL.md) sibling — a PostToolUse hook that opts in per-project via a `.codex-pair/context.md` marker file. The 4-task benchmark in ADR-077 shows codex-pair catches domain-level "wrong but won't crash" issues (float-money precision, cross-cutting validation gaps, edge clamping) that this skill's confidence filter structurally suppresses. Different classes of bug, not the same class with different completeness.

| Use this skill | Use codex-pair |
|---|---|
| Routine PR review (cheap, high precision) | Money/billing/security/spec code (deeper, costlier) |
| You want one comprehensive report | You want every concern flagged with severity |
| Cost-sensitive (~$0.04/PR) | Acceptable cost (~$0.20/edit pass) |

## Instructions

1. Gather the diff to review:
   - Run `git diff` to get unstaged changes
   - Run `git diff --cached` to get staged changes
   - Combine both into a single diff

2. If the diff is empty, inform the user there are no changes to review.

3. Launch the `codex-reviewer` agent with the diff content. The agent handles the Codex prompt structure and output formatting, using GPT-6 Astra at `high` reasoning effort with automatic Terra fallback.
