Run Codex CLI commands non-interactively for CI/CD automation by using codex exec and codex review with explicit flags like --full-auto. This skill enforces structured execution patterns to ensure reliable, headless code analysis and prompt-driven workflows.

Codex exec and codex review serve distinct automation roles: exec handles prompt-driven command execution while review targets code analysis across branches, commits, and working trees. This skill clarifies their semantics to ensure repeatable, safe automation outputs.

Automate code reviews across git branches using Codex by executing codex exec review --base main --full-auto. This non-interactive pattern applies headless analysis to compare branches, commits, and working trees for reliable CI/CD integration.

Use base, uncommitted, or commit reviews in Codex automation based on your target scope: base compares against a branch, uncommitted analyzes the working tree, and commit targets specific changes. This skill provides decision trees to select the correct review mode.

Yes, you can use Codex CLI for headless code analysis in CI pipelines without user input by leveraging codex exec and codex review. This skill enables non-interactive execution with stdin prompts and session resume for fully automated, prompt-driven workflows.

Codex CLI automated workflows fail or produce inconsistent results when lacking explicit usage patterns and version checks. This skill enforces structured command semantics and non-interactive execution rules to ensure safe, repeatable automation across branches and commits.
