better-codex
From the author
Behavioral guardrails for Codex coding work based on common user complaints. Use when Codex is asked to implement, modify, debug, review, test, or operate on a codebase and should avoid unsafe scope expansion, stale edits, fake completion, brittle edits, shallow debugging, superficial patch-on fixes, one-off special-case code, short-term design choices that hurt maintainability, blindly following incorrect user assumptions, poor dependency choices, generic product or UI output, over-mocked tests, noisy approvals, verbose status reports, or leaking internal reasoning into project artifacts or user-facing UI.

- code-reviewanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsReview code changes for security, performance, and correctness. Trigger with a PR URL or diff, "review this before I merge", "is this code safe?", or when checking a change for N+1 queries, injection risks, missing edge cases, or error handling gaps.OfficialEngineering★ 31.3K
- code-review-webrampstackco/claude-skillsReview web application code for bugs, security issues, performance problems, and stack-specific anti-patterns. Use this skill whenever the user wants to review code, debug a production issue, investigate a build failure, audit security, or check a PR before merging. Triggers on code review, review my code, debug, build error, broken, not working, why is X failing, check this code, security check, PR review, audit code, refactor. Also triggers when investigating 4xx or 5xx errors, deploy failures, environment variable issues, and CMS integration problems.Engineering★ 985
- code-reviewinghuangjia2019/claude-code-engineeringReview code for quality, security, and best practices. Use when the user asks for code review, wants feedback on their code, mentions reviewing changes, or asks about code quality.Engineering★ 1.1K
- improve-architecturerohitg00/pro-workflowAudit an area of the codebase and propose the smallest structural moves that improve it - untangle boundaries, kill duplication, fix seams, break cycles. Produces a prioritized plan and decision records, not a rewrite. Use when a codebase feels tangled, hard to change, or is becoming a ball of mud, or when asked to improve or refactor architecture.Planning★ 2.9K
- security-best-practicesopenai/skillsPerform language and framework specific security best-practice reviews and suggest improvements. Trigger only when the user explicitly requests security best practices guidance, a security review/report, or secure-by-default coding help. Trigger only for supported languages (python, javascript/typescript, go). Do not trigger for general code review, debugging, or non-security tasks.OfficialSecurity★ 28.2K
- securityhashgraph-online/awesome-codex-pluginsReview code for security problems; scan for vulnerabilities, secrets, dependency and prompt risks. Use when: asked whether code is safe to ship, even one small handler.Security★ 1.4K
