What it does

Codex Review is an agent skill from youknowone/pyre. Run a Codex-CLI static-analysis parity review of the current diff against the local RPython/PyPy sources, then act on it — fix the regressions and new mismatches in-session, and file the rest as follow-up tasks. Invoked via /codex-review. Use this skill at the END of a work cycle, or whenever the user asks to "run codex review", "codex 리뷰 돌려줘", "리뷰 사이클 돌려줘", "parity review with codex", "check this diff against RPython with codex", or any request to have Codex audit the current changes for RPython/PyPy porting…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 Security, covering Static analysis and SAST. The repository describes itself as: PyRe will be a very fast and compliant implementation of the Python language.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to run codex review
  • Parity review with codex
  • Check this diff against RPython with codex
  • Any request to have Codex audit the current changes for RPython/PyPy porting fidelity

Example prompts

  • “run codex review”
  • “codex 리뷰 돌려줘”
  • “parity review with codex”
  • “/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 (always)
  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
    • codex
    • cargo
    • 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 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 170 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,216 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~170
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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 1,216 words (~2,295 tokens).

“Each development cycle in this repo closes with a 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…”
