Codex Plan Review — External Review of Implementation Plans

After writing-plans produces a plan, send it to Codex for independent review. Codex runs externally and returns only its findings — a second opinion before you commit to implementation.

Announce at start: "I'm using the codex-plan-review skill to get an external review of the plan from Codex."

Checklist

1. Locate the plan file — find the most recent plan in docs/superpowers/plans/ or the user's preferred plan location
2. Read the plan — load the full plan content
3. Send to Codex for review — invoke /codex:rescue --wait with the plan content and review instructions
4. Present Codex feedback — show the full Codex response to the human partner without modification
5. Confirm action — ask the human partner: "Apply Codex feedback to the plan, skip, or discuss?"
6. If applying — invoke writing-plans skill again with the original spec + Codex feedback as additional context
7. Final plan confirmed — proceed to implementation

Step 3: Codex Rescue Invocation

Use this exact pattern to invoke /codex:rescue:

/codex:rescue --wait Review this implementation plan for risks, gaps, missing edge cases, incorrect assumptions, and overlooked dependencies. Be specific about what's wrong and suggest concrete fixes. Here is the plan:

[full plan content]

- Do NOT skip the Codex review step. The whole point of this skill is external validation. - Do NOT modify or summarize Codex's output. Present it verbatim. - Do NOT auto-apply feedback without human partner confirmation.

If Codex Is Not Available

If /codex:rescue fails or Codex is not installed:

1. Tell the human partner: "Codex is not available. Run /codex:setup to install, or skip this review."
2. If skipping, proceed directly to implementation with the current plan.

After This Skill

Once the final plan is confirmed (with or without Codex feedback), the next skill in the pipeline is subagent-driven-development or executing-plans.
