Top Code Quality & Review Skills for Codex

For code review in Codex CLI, install Trail of Bits' security skills and Anthropic's debug and tech-debt skills — Codex runs in the terminal with real repo access, which is exactly the setting where a severity-tagged review pass beats an inline suggestion. superpowers and tdd-skill add the before-the-code discipline if you want review pressure earlier than the diff.

9 code review skills we have not confirmed on Codex

Listed rather than hidden. Absence here usually means untested, not broken — check each skill page for the agents it is verified on.

A combination only gets a page here when at least 6 skills are verified on the agent — otherwise the page would be a stub pretending to be a ranking.

FAQ

Common questions

How does Codex load a skill compared with Claude Code?

Codex adopted the SKILL.md format directly, so the same folder works, but the install path differs: Codex takes the repo-plus-path form (codex skills add github.com/owner/repo/skills/name) rather than a --skill flag. The frontmatter and the three-tier loading behaviour are the same.

How many code review skills work with Codex?

10 of the 19 skills catalogued in Code Quality & Review are verified working on Codex. The remaining 9 are either untested on this agent or depend on capabilities it does not provide — they are listed below rather than hidden.

How do I install a code review skill on Codex?

Each skill page carries the exact Codex command. Codex reads SKILL.md natively, so a skill folder works unchanged.
