What problem does it solve?

It solves the need for an independent second attempt when an AI first pass may have missed risks, constraints, or the correct next action.

Core Features & Use Cases

Codex handoff on explicit request: Runs a Codex pass only when the user asks for a second pass or Codex handoff.
Repo/context-aware task prompting: Builds a concise task prompt using the current user request and repository state to guide Codex.
Clear result handling guidance: Helps summarize Codex recommendations or changes and keep Claude’s judgment separate from Codex’s output.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema

How do I get a Codex retry for code generated by Claude?▼

A Codex second pass provides an independent review when Claude's first attempt may have missed risks or constraints. It builds a repo-aware task prompt, invokes the codex-bridge script, and returns Codex's recommendations or follow-up edits.

Can I use Claude Code to request a Codex handoff for repository context review?▼

Yes, you can request a Codex handoff directly inside Claude Code. The skill explicitly triggers a Codex pass using your current repository state and user instructions to validate the initial output.

What's the best way to validate an AI first pass for missed constraints?▼

Requesting an independent second pass is the best way to validate an AI first pass. It generates a follow-up review from Codex using your repository context to catch missed risks or constraints.

Does the Codex second pass require any specific dependencies to run?▼

The Codex second pass requires no additional dependencies to run. It operates by building a prompt and invoking the internal codex-bridge script to execute the retry action.

When should I not use a Codex second pass in Claude?▼

You should not use a Codex second pass if you do not want Claude's judgment separated from Codex's output. It is explicitly designed for independent validation, risk review, or follow-up edits upon request.
