SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables fast, ad-hoc reviews of tasks and specifications without running pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standalone review execution: Run quick checks on implementation or handoff tasks without a full pipeline.
  • Structured guidance: Defines goals, scope, and capture actionable findings for PRD/TECH_SPEC or task notes.
  • Audit-ready outputs: Produces a concise summary suitable for PRD/TECH_SPEC or task notes.

Quick Start

Uncommitted diff: codex review --uncommitted Compare to a base branch: codex review --base <branch> Specific commit: codex review --commit <sha> Custom focus (no diff flags): codex review "Focus on correctness, regressions, edge cases; list missing tests."

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform a standalone review of uncommitted code without running a full pipeline?

You can run a standalone review on uncommitted code by using the `codex review --uncommitted` command to quickly validate implementation intent and capture actionable findings without executing full pipelines.

What is an ad-hoc implementation review and when do I need it?

An ad-hoc implementation review is a fast validation process used during handoff to approve changes and record decisions in PRD or TECH_SPEC documents without running full pipelines.

Can I review a specific commit against a base branch for PRD updates?

Yes, you can compare a specific commit against a base branch using `codex review --base <branch>` or `codex review --commit <sha>` to generate audit-ready summaries for your PRD or TECH_SPEC.

How do I focus a code review on correctness and missing edge cases?

You can run `codex review "Focus on correctness, regressions, edge cases; list missing tests."` without diff flags to direct the standalone review toward specific implementation concerns.

Does standalone review require pipeline dependencies to validate task notes?

No, standalone review operates independently of pipeline dependencies, allowing you to validate user intent and record decisions in task notes directly during implementation.
