Run an independent Codex CLI parity review of the majit/pyre diff against local RPython/PyPy, verify findings, fix new regressions, and record justified follow-ups.

  • Works in 5 steps: Run the Codex review → Parse the four sections → Fix sections 1 & 2 in-session by default → …
  • Legacy /codex-review
  • SKILL.md covers Codex scope and prerequisites, Step 1 — Run the Codex review, Step 2 — Parse the four sections and Step 3 — Fix sections 1 & 2…, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls git, cargo and codex

What it does

Codex Review is an agent skill from youknowone/pyre. Run an independent Codex CLI parity review of the majit/pyre diff against local RPython/PyPy, verify findings, fix new regressions, and record justified follow-ups. Use for $codex-review, legacy /codex-review, or requests for a Codex parity review cycle in this repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k 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. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: PyRe will be a very fast and compliant implementation of the Python language.

When your agent uses it

  • Legacy /codex-review
  • Requests for a Codex parity review cycle in this repository

Example prompts

  • “/codex-review”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Run the Codex review
  2. Parse the four sections
  3. Fix sections 1 & 2 in-session by default
  4. Adjudicate sections 3 & 4 (decide; never reflex-defer)
  5. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08b7c10. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • cargo
    • codex
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,573 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,573 words (~3,105 tokens).

“When this review cycle is requested, run an independent Codex-CLI review: Codex statically compares the working diff (git diff upstream/main) against the local RPython/PyPy sources and reports porting divergences in four sections. This skill runs that review and then acts…”
