FAQPage Schema

How do I get a second opinion on my code changes using a different AI model?▼

Cross-AI validation provides a second opinion by invoking the OpenAI Codex CLI to review uncommitted code changes or validate implementation approaches against task specifications.

Can I validate my implementation approach against task specifications before committing?▼

Yes, approach validation checks your implementation against task specifications using gpt-5.3-codex, verifying that architectural decisions and code analysis meet the requirements.

How do I perform a security-focused code review on uncommitted changes?▼

Security-focused code review uses the Codex CLI to analyze uncommitted changes against a base branch, identifying potential vulnerabilities and providing a different AI perspective.

Do I need to include file paths when prompting the Codex CLI for task verification?▼

Yes, explicit file path inclusion in prompts is required to perform task verification and custom code analysis, which also optimizes token usage and output handling.

What are the limitations of using the Codex CLI for automated code review?▼

Limitations include the need for explicit file path inclusion in prompts and careful output handling to optimize token usage when performing one-shot code review and approach validation.
