Document Review Skill

Trigger

• Keywords: review doc, document review, tech spec review, review-spec, doc-refactor, streamline doc

When NOT to Use

• Code review (use codex-code-review)
• Test coverage review (use test-review)
• Just want to read a document (use Read directly)

Commands

Command	Description	Use Case
/codex-review-doc	Codex reviews .md docs	Document changes
/review-spec	Review tech spec	Spec confirmation
/doc-refactor	Streamline documents	Doc too long
/update-docs	Research & update docs	After code change

Workflow: /codex-review-doc

Determine target → Read content → Codex review (5 dimensions) → Rating table + Gate → Loop if Needs revision

Step 1: Determine Target File

Condition	Action
Path specified	Use that path directly
No path	Auto-detect: git modified .md → staged .md → new .md
Multiple files	List and ask user which to review

Step 2: Read File Content

Read target file, save as FILE_CONTENT.

Step 3: Codex Review

First review: mcp__codex__codex with doc review prompt. See @references/codex-prompt-doc.md.

Config: sandbox: 'read-only', approval-policy: 'never'

Save the returned threadId.

Loop review: mcp__codex__codex-reply with re-review template. See @references/review-loop-doc.md.

Step 4: Consolidate Output

Organize results into rating table + severity-grouped findings + gate.

Review Dimensions

Dimension	Checks
Architecture Design	System boundaries, responsibilities, dependencies, extensibility
Performance	Bottlenecks, concurrency, caching, resource usage
Security	Data leakage, access control, input validation, error handling
Documentation Quality	Structure, completeness, accuracy, examples, docs-writing standards
Code Consistency	Pseudocode matches codebase, referenced files exist, technical accuracy

Review Loop

⚠️ @CLAUDE.md auto-loop: fix → re-review → ... → ✅ PASS ⚠️

⛔ Needs revision → fix 🔴 items → /codex-review-doc --continue <threadId> → repeat until ✅ Mergeable.

Max 3 rounds. Still failing → report blocker.

Verification

• Each issue tagged with severity (🔴/🟡/⚪)
• Gate is clear (✅ Mergeable / ⛔ Needs revision)
• Codex verified code-documentation consistency independently

Required Actions

Change Type	Must Execute
.md docs	/codex-review-doc or /review-spec
Tech spec	/review-spec
README	/codex-review-doc

References

• Doc review prompt: references/codex-prompt-doc.md
• Review loop: references/review-loop-doc.md
• Standards: @rules/docs-writing.md

Examples

Input: /codex-review-doc docs/features/xxx/tech-spec.md
Action: Read file → Codex doc prompt → Rating table + Findings + Gate

Input: /codex-review-doc
Action: Auto-detect changed .md → Codex doc prompt → Rating table + Gate

Input: Review this tech spec for me
Action: /review-spec → Check completeness/feasibility/risks → Output Gate

Input: This document is too long, streamline it
Action: /doc-refactor → Tabularize + Mermaid → Output comparison
