Codex Review

Review local changes before a trunk commit or push. Use when the user asks for review, a final preflight pass, or a regression check focused on correctness, risks, and missing tests.

Codex Review

Use a code-review mindset. Findings come first.

Focus

  • Behavioral regressions
  • Incorrect assumptions in changed code
  • Missing or weak verification
  • Risky git or release steps

Workflow

  1. Inspect the diff, not just final files.
  2. Trace the changed behavior to the user-facing or system-facing boundary.
  3. Check that the relevant tests or validation steps exist and were run.
  4. Classify each accepted finding as event-model gap, domain/core gap, or shell/CLI gap.
  5. If a finding is an event-model gap, patch the event model first, rerun the model completeness pass, and only then implement the fix.
  6. For stateful CLIs or operator tooling, explicitly inspect open-vs-create behavior, bootstrap/init safety, wrong-path or wrong-store behavior, and lifecycle-state interactions.
  7. Report findings ordered by severity with file references when possible.
  8. If no findings exist, say so explicitly and mention residual risk or test gaps.

Biases

  • Prefer concrete evidence over hypothetical style commentary.
  • Do not center PR review conventions. This is local preflight review for trunk shipping.
