codex-gate skillA

codex-gate is agent-read markdown (skill) from ericpardee/agent-files: Use when User wants a cross-model review gate before shipping code or on a pull request - "before I push/merge/deploy", "have codex review this branch/these commits/the plan", "gate PR 123", "cross-model review", "second set of eyes on this branch", or /codex-gate. Runs Codex CLI at max reasoning against a diff scope, forces a fix-or-rebut disposition on every Critical/High/Medium finding, loops until clean (max 2 rounds), and writes a ledger. On someone else's PR it posts verified findings as a.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Codex Gate

An on-demand quality gate. Codex (a different model family) reviews the diff, Claude
disposes of every finding, Codex re-checks, and a ledger records the whole exchange.
This is NOT a Stop hook and must never be wired into one; it runs only when invoked.

Invocation: `/codex-gate [scope] [--dry-run]`

Scopes:

- (none, default) - branch diff vs the repo default branch
- `staged` or `uncommitted` - staged, unstaged, and untracked changes
- `commit <sha>` - a single commit
- one or more explicit paths - restrict the review to those files
- `pr <number|url>` - a pull request on the repo of the current directory (see
  "PR mode" below; the behavior depends on who wrote the PR)

`--dry-run` runs the review and shows what would be posted or pushed, and posts and
pushes nothing. Use it the first time on any repo.

## PR mode

Two things differ from a local gate: the code lives in a temporary worktree, and
the outcome depends on the PR's author.

| Author | Mode | What happens to findings |
| --- | --- | --- |
| User (the `gh` login) | loop | Real findings are fixed on the PR branch, committed, pushed; Codex re-reviews; verdict comment on the PR |
