FAQPage Schema
How do I get an independent second opinion for Claude Code?▼

To get an independent second opinion for Claude Code, initiate a new codex-ask session, which enforces a fresh context per query to prevent contamination and preserve assessment independence.

What is context contamination in AI coding sessions and how do I prevent it?▼

Context contamination in AI coding sessions occurs when crowded or biased context affects decision making. Prevent it by using an independent perspective tool that enforces a fresh session per query, prohibiting resume-based continuation.

Can I validate refactor tradeoffs and brainstorm rebuttals using an external AI perspective?▼

Yes, you can validate refactor tradeoffs, check spec sanity, and brainstorm rebuttals by querying an external AI perspective that provides fresh, independent assessments without carrying over your current session's context.

Does codex-ask support resume-based continuation for follow-up questions?▼

No, codex-ask prohibits resume-based continuation. Each query must initiate a fresh session to guarantee the independence of each assessment and prevent context contamination in decision making.

When should I use an independent second opinion tool versus a code review gate?▼

Use an independent second opinion tool for brainstorm rebuttals and tradeoff validation. It is not a review gate; use a dedicated code review process when formal stamping or approval is explicitly required.
