Run an independent code review of any git scope — uncommitted changes, a commit range, a merge commit, a PR, or specific paths — via Codex CLI, opencode, or context-blind subagents, then triage every finding with an explicit disposition. Use when asked to "review this diff", "codex review", "review PR N", "review the merge commit", or to get a second opinion on changes before or after merge. For reviewing implementation plans rather than code, see plan-review-loop.

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 Review

An independent code review of a **scope you choose**, not a scope some tool chose for you.

**Core principle:** the reviewer must not have seen the conversation that produced the
code. Its value is that it does not already believe the change is correct. Preserve
that — never hand it your reasoning, only the diff.

**No hook, no hidden state.** This skill runs start-to-finish inside one
invocation. Nothing can wedge a session, and nothing needs cancelling. By default a
review is one-shot. Opt-in loop mode (`--loop <id>`, [loop-mode.md](loop-mode.md))
is for a change reviewed more than once: each round is still one invocation, and
its only state is the round records it leaves under `reviews/<id>/`.

## Lifecycle

```
resolve scope → assemble lanes → run reviewer → triage findings → act
```

---

## Phase 1 — Resolve the scope

Run the resolver and use its output. Do not construct a `git diff` by hand.

Locate the directory containing this `SKILL.md` using skill discovery.
The resolver is `scripts/resolve-scope.sh` inside that directory, and
`review-lanes.md` is beside this file. Use those installed paths while
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add augchan42/inkstone/codex-review@sha256:a7cb0d77143f0aec

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.0, 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.
