FAQPage Schema
How do I get a cross-model review of a technical spec or product plan?▼

Cross-model document review uses Codex to critique specs, plans, and governance documents to surface gaps and improvements. It provides independent, model-assisted evaluation of completeness, accuracy, feasibility, and consistency.

Can I check if a document aligns with upstream reference requirements?▼

Upstream alignment checks compare a document against a reference document using the --upstream flag. This verifies acceptance criteria and requirement coverage to ensure consistency across specs.

What do I need to set up before running a Codex consultation?▼

Codex consultation requires Codex CLI access and configuration via .claude/settings.local.json. You can optionally specify flags for upstream references, research topics, and model selection.

How do I target specific technologies during a spec review?▼

You can target specific technologies during a spec review by passing the --research flag. This focuses the Codex evaluation on the specified technical areas alongside standard completeness and feasibility checks.

Can I select a specific Codex instance for a model-to-model comparison?▼

Model-to-model comparisons allow selecting a specific Codex instance using the --model flag. This enables cross-model critique of product specs, technical plans, and governance documents.

What types of documents are best suited for an independent Codex review?▼

Codex reviews are suited for product specs, technical plans, and governance documents. The evaluation surfaces inconsistencies, gaps, and improvements by leveraging Codex for focused assessment.
