name: codex-advisor description: This skill should be used when the user asks for a "GPT second opinion", wants a "cross-model review", needs to "check a plan before committing", wants another view after repeated failures, or explicitly invokes "codex-advisor".

Codex Advisor

Get a focused second opinion from GPT-6 Astra through the Codex CLI, without handing the work over to it.

Route by tool

1. In Claude Code, delegate to the native codex-advisor agent. It receives the recent conversation automatically, so do not paste the history yourself.

2. Elsewhere, run this exact shape from this skill's directory so the request reaches standard input:

   node scripts/ask_codex.mjs <<'REVIEW'
   the review request
   REVIEW
   

State the decision, the evidence behind it, and any constraint that changes the verdict. Name the paths that matter: the reviewer has read-only access and checks load-bearing claims itself.

Return the answer without rewriting it. If codex is missing or unauthenticated, surface the error and ask the user to install it or sign in. Never review in its place.

Reviewer

Pinned to gpt-6-astra at medium reasoning effort.

Weighing the answer

Give the verdict serious weight. If a step it recommends fails when tried, or a file contradicts a specific claim, surface the conflict instead of following the review blindly.
