Review test quality and audit test coverage for any module. This skill should be used when reviewing existing tests, auditing test gaps, writing new tests, or when asked to assess test health. It pipelines testing standards into the audit workflow to produce a prioritized gap report. The output is a report, not code — do not write test implementations until the report is reviewed.

workflow-security-audit
Comprehensive security assessment and remediation. Use for security reviews, compliance checks, vulnerability assessments.
claude-consult
Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
skill-creator
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Codex's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
skill-installer
Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos).
accessibility-audit
Fast, high-signal accessibility triage for pages, components, or PRs targeting WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.
agent-loops
Complete operational workflow for implementer agents (Codex, Gemini, etc.) making code changes and writing tests. Drives all work through atomic commits — each loop operates on the smallest complete, reviewable change. Defines the Code Change Loop, Test Writing Loop, Lint Gate, and Issue Filing process with circuit breakers, severity levels, and escalation rules. Requires `cortex git commit` for all commits. Includes bundled provider-aware review scripts that keep same-model shell-outs as the last resort, plus a fresh-context Codex fallback for code review and test audit. Use this skill when starting any implementation task.
api-design-patterns
Comprehensive REST and GraphQL API design patterns with versioning, pagination, error handling, and HATEOAS principles. Use when designing APIs, defining endpoints, or architecting service contracts requiring production-grade patterns.
api-gateway-patterns
API Gateway patterns for routing, authentication, rate limiting, and service composition in microservices architectures. Use when implementing API gateways, building BFF layers, or managing service-to-service communication at scale.
async-python-patterns
Python asyncio and concurrent programming patterns for high-performance applications. Use when building async APIs, concurrent systems, or I/O-bound applications requiring non-blocking operations.
backlog-md
Task tracking system for agents via Backlog.md CLI. Use when creating deferred issues during implementation, filing audit findings, working assigned tasks, or managing project work. Optimized for agent workflows: structured issue filing, priority/labeling system, and task completion tracking.
build-optimization
Build system optimization covering compilation, caching, incremental builds, and developer tooling. Use when improving build times, configuring CI pipelines, or designing developer tools.
canvas-design
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. Use when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
codanna-codebase-intelligence
Use codanna MCP tools for semantic code search, call graphs, and impact analysis before grep/find.
code-explanation
Use when explaining code, concepts, or system behavior to a specific audience level - provides a structured explanation workflow with depth control and validation steps.
code-quality-workflow
Use when assessing or improving code quality, maintainability, performance, or security hygiene - provides workflows for analysis, code review, and systematic improvements with validation steps.
codex-code-review
Automate code review remediation loops with the codex CLI. Requests reviews from codex, classifies findings by severity (P0-P4), fixes critical issues (P0/P1) through iterative cycles, defers quality improvements to backlog, and escalates after 3 review cycles. Use when working with code that needs structured remediation: 'codex review' in a request triggers this workflow.
