What it does
Codex Review Branch is an agent skill from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness. Fully automated review of an entire feature branch using Codex exec
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: The harness layer for Claude Code — a reference implementation of harness engineering with hook-enforced dual review, state-machine gates that survive context compaction, and… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Development work in your project
Example prompts
- “/codex-review-branch”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(git:*), Bash(bash:*), Read, Grep, Glob, Task, Monitor
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9a2036. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash(git:*)Bash(bash:*)ReadGrepGlobTaskMonitor
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Codex Review Branch loads about 485 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 226 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Codex Review Branch
Thin entry-point skill — routes to the parent skill for full workflow.
Parent Skill
This is the Branch variant of codex-code-review. Full workflow, prompt templates, and review logic are defined in the parent skill.
See @skills/codex-code-review/SKILL.md
Variant
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Scope | Full branch (all commits since base) |
| Pre-checks | None |
| Prompt template | @skills/codex-code-review/references/codex-prompt-branch.md |
| Reviewers | Codex alone. --dual adds a secondary reviewer — off unless the flag is passed |
| Tier | thorough (this is the depth variant — P0/P1/P2 block, round cap 30) |
Flags
| Flag | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
--dual | off | Adds a second reviewer in parallel (see parent skill Step 3). The merge happens in conversation — no state write, no mode field, and the next invocation starts single again unless the flag is passed again. A second opinion that can block this review's gate. Use for releases, security-sensitive changes, and public API surfaces. |
--dual is the only code-review entry point where two reviewers run. /codex-review-fast and /codex-review-doc are single-reviewer by design and offer no such flag: the cost of the second opinion is only worth paying where the change warrants it, and this is that variant. /plan-review --dual is the plan-mode counterpart — same opt-in shape, same default of off, a different loop.
Trigger
- Keywords: branch review, full branch, review branch, codex-review-branch
When NOT to Use
- Quick diff-only review (use
/codex-review-fast) - Full review with lint + build (use
/codex-review) - Document review (use
/codex-review-doc)
