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…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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 | …

How to install
mdr add ericpardee/agent-files/codex-gate@sha256:f8fe656cbee94f12The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.c858b23, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
