description: "Post-implementation review orchestrator. Launches 5 parallel background sub-agents: Oracle (goal/constraint verification), Oracle (code quality), Oracle (security), unspecified-high (hands-on QA execution), unspecified-high (context mining from GitHub/git/Slack/Notion). All must pass for review to pass. MUST USE before a PR handoff or when the user explicitly asks to review completed work. Triggers: 'review work', 'review my work', 'review changes', 'QA my work', 'verify implementation', 'check my work', 'validate changes', 'post-implementation review'."

Codex Harness Tool Compatibility

This skill may include examples copied from the OpenCode harness. In Codex, do not call OpenCode-only tools such as `call_omo_agent(...)`, `task(...)`, `background_output(...)`, or `team_*(...)` literally. Translate those examples to Codex native tools:

| OpenCode example | Codex tool to use | | --- | --- | | `call_omo_agent(subagent_type="explore", ...)` | `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent({"message":"TASK: act as an explorer. ...","agent_type":"explorer","fork_context":false})` | | `call_omo_agent(subagent_type="librarian", ...)` | `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent({"message":"TASK: act as a librarian. ...","agent_type":"librarian","fork_context":false})` | | `task(subagent_type="plan", ...)` | `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent({"message":"TASK: act as a planning agent. ...","agent_type":"plan","fork_context":false})` | | `task(subagent_type="oracle", ...)` for final verification | `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent({"message":"TASK: act as a rigorous reviewer. ...","agent_type":"lazycodex-gate-reviewer","fork_context":false})` | | `task(category="...", ...)` for implementation or QA | `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent({"message":"TASK: act as an implementation or QA worker. ...","fork_context":false})` | | `background_output(task_id="...")` | `multi_agent_v1.wait_agent(...)` for mailbox signals | | `team_*(...)` | Use Codex native subagents via `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent` and `multi_agent_v1.wait_agent`; use `multi_agent_v1.send_input` and `multi_agent_v1.close_agent` only when exposed in the active tools list |

Role-specific behavior must be described in a self-contained `message`. Use `fork_context: false` to start the child with only the initial prompt (no parent history); use `fork_context: true` only when full parent history is truly required. Include any required conversation context, files, diffs, constraints, and requested skill names directly in the spawned agent's `message`. OMO installs these selectable agent roles into `~/.codex/agents/`: `explorer`, `librarian`, `plan`, `momus`, `metis`, `lazycodex-code-reviewer`, `lazycodex-qa-executor`, and `lazycodex-gate-reviewer` - pass the matching name as `agent_type` so the child gets that role's model and instructions. If the spawn tool exposes no `agent_type` parameter, omit it and describe the role inside `message`. If a code block below conflicts with this section, this section wins.

Codex exposes ONE of two subagent tool surfaces per session; check your own tool list and route accordingly. If `multi_agent_v1.*` tools exist, use the table above as written. If instead a flat `spawn_agent` with a required `task_name` exists (`multi_agent_v2`), rewrite every `multi_agent_v1.*` example: `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent({...,"fork_context":false})` becomes `spawn_agent({"task_name":"<lowercase_digits_underscores>","message":...,"agent_type":...,"fork_turns":"none"})` (`"all"` only when full parent history is truly required); `send_input` becomes `send_message`; do not call `close_agent`/`resume_agent` (finished agents end on their own; `followup_task` re-tasks one, `interrupt_agent` stops one); `wait_agent` takes only `timeout_ms` and returns on any child mailbox activity. On the v2 surface `agent_type` may be ABSENT from the spawn schema (verified 2026-07-11: only `fork_turns`/`message`/`task_name`) — when absent, omit it and describe the role inside `message`; installed role TOMLs cannot be selected on that surface. If a code block below conflicts with this section, this section wins.

When translating `load_skills=[...]`, include the requested skill names in the spawned agent's `message`. If a code block below conflicts with this section, this section wins.

For work likely to exceed one wait cycle, require the child to send `WORKING: <task> - <current phase>` before long passes and `BLOCKED: <reason>` only when progress stops. A `multi_agent_v1.wait_agent` timeout only means no new mailbox update arrived; back off between waits (double the timeout up to ~5 minutes) instead of spinning short cycles. Treat a running child as alive. Fallback only when the child is completed without the deliverable, ack-only after followup, explicitly `BLOCKED:`, or no longer running.

Codex Subagent Reliability

Every `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent` message must be self-contained. Start with `TASK: <imperative assignment>`, then name `DELIVERABLE`, `SCOPE`, and `VERIFY`. State that it is an executable assignment, not a context handoff. Role or specialty instructions belong inside `message`. Use `fork_context: false` unless full history is truly required; paste only the review context that worker needs.

Review lanes are leaf agents: a lane does its own reading, running, and judging inline and never spawns sub-reviewers of its own. Reviewers are one-shot: a lane ends at its verdict; a re-review after fixes is a fresh spawn scoped to the delta plus current evidence, never a `followup_task` to a long-lived reviewer carrying stale context.

Plan and reviewer agents may run for a long time; spawn them in the background and keep doing independent root work. Between `multi_agent_v1.wait_agent` calls, back off — double the timeout up to ~5 minutes — instead of spinning short cycles.

Treat child status as a progress signal, not a timeout counter. For work likely to exceed one wait cycle, require the child to send `WORKING: <task> - <current phase>` before long
