Instructions

# Diff Review via Codex

Have Codex review git changes for a second perspective on code quality.

## CRITICAL: Instruct Codex

Every prompt sent to Codex MUST include these instructions:

> "You are running non-interactively as part of a script. Do not ask questions or wait for input. Do not make any changes. Provide your complete feedback immediately."

Codex is a consultant. Claude Code handles all file modifications.

## Quick Start (MCP)

If the `codex` MCP tool is available, first save the diff then review:

```bash
git diff --cached > codex-review.diff
```

```
mcp__plugin_codex_cli__codex({
  "prompt": "You are running non-interactively as part of a script. Do not ask questions or wait for input. Do not make any changes. Provide your complete feedback immediately.\n\nReview the code changes at codex-review.diff for bugs, security issues, and style problems.",
  "sandbox": "read-only",
  "model": "gpt-5.2"
})
```

```bash
rm codex-review.diff
```

## Fallback (Bash)

If MCP is unavailable, use shell commands:

```bash
git diff --cached > codex-review.diff
codex exec "You are running non-interactively as part of a script. Do not ask questions or wait for input. Do not make any changes. Provide your complete feedback immediately.

Review the code changes at codex-review.diff for issues." --sandbox read-only -m gpt-5.2-codex 2>&1
rm codex-review.diff
```

Or use the built-in review command:

```bash
codex review --uncommitted 2>&1
```

Note: The review command is scoped to diffs and doesn't support `--sandbox`.

## Patterns

**Staged changes:**
```
mcp__plugin_codex_cli__codex({
  "prompt": "You are running non-interactively as part of a script. Do not ask questions or wait for input. Do not make any changes. Provide your complete feedback immediately.\n\nReview codex-review.diff for:\n1. Bugs or logic errors\n2. Security vulnerabilities\n3. Style inconsistencies\n4. Missing error handling",
  "sandbox": "read-only",
  "model": "gpt-5.2"
})
```

**Security focus:
