About this skill
Start a Second Opinion
- Confirm
codex mcp get second-opinionsucceeds. If it does not, use the exact graceful-degradation message from$second-opinion-helpand continue with a normal Codex review only if the user still wants one. - Read the explicitly requested file or diff. Never include
.env, key files, credentials, or unredacted logs in the consultation payload. - Use the service's
get_code_second_opiniontool for its default model orget_multi_model_second_opinionwhen the user selects one or more models. Supply code/diff, language, review question, and requested depth. - Return a concise synthesis: agreements, disagreements, risks, recommended action, model names, and reported cost. Do not treat a model response as an authority over repository evidence.
For a real code-review dogfood run, inspect a non-secret current diff and ask for focused review of the changed behavior. Record only the non-sensitive synthesis in the issue or PR.
When not to use it
- →When the user asks to include `.env` files in the consultation payload
- →When the user asks to include key files or credentials
- →When the user asks to include unredacted logs
Limitations
- →Does not include `.env`, key files, credentials, or unredacted logs in the consultation payload
- →Does not treat a model response as an authority over repository evidence
- →Requires `codex mcp get second-opinion` to succeed
How it compares
This skill provides a synthesized multi-model perspective on code or design, offering a broader range of feedback and risk identification compared to a single model review.
