/cx [focus], /cx adv [focus]: adversarial review/cx review: Codex's standard review/cx last: open the last findings again/cx cancel: stop running reviewsEach start asks what to review:
| Choice | Codex reviews |
|---|---|
| Against base branch | the branch's commits since it left its base: the PR's base branch, else main |
| Session commits | the commits since this session started (the repository's HEAD at session start) |
| Current changes | the uncommitted changes: staged, unstaged and untracked |
A choice with nothing in it (no commits ahead, a clean tree) starts no review and says so. After a git push or gh pr create, /cx adv is proposed in the prompt box (Tab takes it).
Always drawn above the prompt on its own row, a blank row above it: the running review with cancel, else the session's last finished review (no review yet before one) with open and review. review runs what /cx adv runs, dialog included. While the band is focused (ctrl+x tab), x presses review/cancel and o presses open. Reviews Claude ran through the tool count as the last result too.
Claude gets mcp__codex-review__CodexReview({ mode, base, focus, cwd }). It runs a real Codex review and returns Codex's JSON (verdict, summary, findings, next_steps). When Codex fails it returns an error, never a review of Claude's own.
The codex plugin's companion (codex-companion.mjs, found through installed_plugins.json) runs detached under nohup, writing its --json output to ~/.cache/codex-review/<job>/. A 10 s poll follows it. Output that does not match Codex's review schema is shown as raw text, never guessed. Codex never gets --write.
| Option | Default | |
|---|---|---|
suggestAfterPush | true | propose /cx adv after a push |
preselect | medium+ | medium+, all or none ticked |
Needs function hooks (CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1).
