About
codex-review is a community skill catalog entry in antigravity-awesome-skills that wraps BenedictKing/codex-review for Codex-integrated professional code review. Installation uses npx skills add -g BenedictKing/codex-review after the Codex CLI is present on the machine. Developers invoke /codex-review or natural-language triggers before commits, when they need CHANGELOG files updated automatically, or while assessing large-scale refactors for regressions and maintainability. The workflow pairs AI-assisted review with changelog discipline so release notes stay synchronized with diffs. Reach for codex-review in ship workflows where human-quality review gates precede merge or tag, especially when Codex is the primary coding agent and manual CHANGELOG edits are easy to skip.

- Automatic CHANGELOG generation tied to review output
- Natural language or /codex-review style invocation before commits
- Oriented to large-scale refactoring review passes
