FAQPage Schema
How do I get an independent AI second opinion on a code review?▼

To get an AI second opinion on a code review, run the Codex CLI in review mode on your current diff. It compares changes against the base branch to provide a brutally honest, independent assessment of your code.

What is a gate-style verdict in automated code review?▼

A gate-style verdict in automated code review is a structured pass or fail decision. It surfaces the approval status alongside token usage and approximate cost estimates to help stakeholders decide next steps.

How do I challenge proposed code changes against a project plan?▼

To challenge proposed code changes against a project plan, use the Codex CLI in challenge mode. It detects plan scope from your input and evaluates whether the code diff aligns with the intended design.

Can I use AI code review without additional dependencies?▼

Yes, you can use this AI code review tool without additional dependencies. It operates independently within your existing workflows, respecting filesystem boundaries while analyzing diffs.

What is the difference between review, challenge, and consult modes for code analysis?▼

Review mode assesses current diffs, challenge mode questions changes against a project plan, and consult mode provides broader feedback. The CLI detects the appropriate mode from your input to deliver structured code quality reports.

How do I estimate token usage and cost for an AI code review?▼

To estimate token usage and cost for an AI code review, run the CLI and check the structured report. It automatically calculates and delivers approximate cost and token metrics alongside the gate verdict.
