What the author says it does
Consult OpenAI Codex for investigation, debugging, or code review. Use when user explicitly asks to "ask codex", "check with codex", "codex review", or as a last resort when stuck after 4+ failed attempts at debugging, investigation, or bug fix and completely out of ideas. Codex is slow (2-5 min), so only escalate when truly stuck. Codex runs in read-only mode with full project access — it analyzes, we implement.
Quoted from the skill's own SKILL.md trigger description — this is what tells

Automated screening
100/100 validator score
Scored by the same rules as our free SKILL.md validator: trigger description quality, body substance, structure. Automated — a human bench test is the next step in the pipeline.

SkillProof status
This skill is in our test queue. We install every skill in a clean environment, run a trigger battery and score output against a baseline before it earns a catalog page — the full protocol is public. Until then, treat it like any unreviewed dependency: read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
