# Review via Codex

Spawn the `codex` subagent. The scope sets the mode:

- branch vs base: `review scope: --base main`
- single commit: `review scope: --commit <sha>`
- uncommitted: `review scope: --uncommitted`
- arbitrary files / abstract scope: WITHOUT `review scope:` — a plain task
  "review files X, Y and their dependents".

## Subagent prompt — required parts

- First line — framing for the wrapper: "You are a wrapper around the codex
  CLI: do not solve the task yourself, launch codex and return its answer +
  thread_id".
- `cwd: <absolute repo path>` (review works from cwd)
- `review scope: ...` (if applicable)
- Focus and format — in a block between markers `=== TASK FOR CODEX ===` and
  `=== END TASK ===`:
  - Focus, if any: security / performance / correctness / everything.
  - Findings format: `file:line — 🔴|🟡|🔵 — problem — suggested fix`, no
    praise, no code retelling.

## Example

```
You are a wrapper around the codex CLI: do not solve the task yourself, launch codex and return its answer + thread_id.
cwd: /abs/path/to/repo
review scope: --base main
=== TASK FOR CODEX ===
Focus: correctness and security.
Findings format: file:line — 🔴|🟡|🔵 — problem — fix. No praise.
=== END TASK ===
```

## After

- Hand the findings to the user / process per the task.
- Contested finding → SendMessage to the same session: ask to justify or
  show a repro. Don't silently accept or reject.
