SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Review changed code for reuse, quality, efficiency, and clarity, then optionally apply safe Codex-driven fixes. It helps ensure that code changes meet standards and are easy to maintain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modes: choose between review-only, safe-fixes, or fix-and-validate to control how changes are evaluated and applied.
  • Parallel review: four read-only sub-agents analyze reuse, quality, efficiency, and clarity in parallel, returning structured findings.
  • Controlled changes: only the main agent can apply high-confidence, behavior-preserving fixes.
  • Use Case: you updated a module and want to verify improvements without introducing regressions.

Quick Start

Specify the changes to review (diff, path, or files) and run the preferred mode to inspect and optionally fix in a single pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code review for a git diff or pull request?▼

Automate code review for a git diff by running four parallel read-only sub-agents that analyze reuse, quality, efficiency, and clarity, returning structured findings for your changed files.

What is the safest way to refactor code changes without introducing regressions?▼

Safely refactor code changes by using the safe-fixes mode, which restricts the main agent to applying only high-confidence, behavior-preserving fixes after an automated review.

Can I review code quality and apply fixes in a single pass?▼

Yes, you can review code quality and apply fixes in a single pass by using the fix-and-validate mode, which evaluates changes and applies safe fixes automatically.

Does automated code review work for specific file scopes or only entire pull requests?▼

Automated code review works for explicit file scopes, specific paths, or entire pull requests, allowing you to target audits and simplifications exactly where needed.

What are the limitations of using automated safe fixes for code refactoring?▼

The limitation of automated safe fixes is that the main agent only applies high-confidence, behavior-preserving changes, meaning complex refactors requiring deeper contextual reasoning are skipped.
