SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates a rigorous, two-pass adversarial review process for design documents and implementation plans, identifying potential flaws and inconsistencies before execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-Pass Review: Conducts both section-by-section and holistic document reviews.
  • Automated Critique: Leverages OpenAI Codex CLI to provide detailed feedback.
  • Iterative Improvement: Supports focused, multi-round reviews of specific sections.
  • Use Case: Before committing to a complex software architecture, use this Skill to have Codex stress-test the design document for hidden flaws, contradictions, and unaddressed failure modes.

Quick Start

Use the codex-review skill to perform a two-pass review on the document located at '/path/to/my/design_doc.md'.

Frequently Asked Questions about codex-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate adversarial code review for design documents?▼

You can automate adversarial code review by running a two-pass critique process that analyzes design documents section-by-section and holistically for cross-cutting concerns. This identifies hidden flaws and inconsistencies before implementation begins.

What is a two-pass review process for architecture plans?▼

A two-pass review first analyzes architecture plans section-by-section for local issues, then evaluates the document holistically for cross-cutting concerns. This iterative critique is fed back into the document for targeted revisions.

Does the adversarial review process require the OpenAI Codex CLI?▼

Yes, the adversarial review process requires the OpenAI Codex CLI, Python 3.10 or higher, and authenticated OpenAI API access to automate the critique and stress-test design documents.

How do I stress-test an implementation plan for hidden flaws before execution?▼

To stress-test an implementation plan, run it through a two-pass adversarial review using OpenAI Codex. The process flags unaddressed failure modes and contradictions, allowing you to revise specific sections iteratively.

Can I target a specific section for iterative critique during document review?▼

Yes, the review process supports focused, multi-round iterative critique of specific document sections. This allows targeted refinement of individual architecture or design plan components without reviewing the entire document.
