Open Code Review, Delegation Mode

This Codex plugin skill intentionally mirrors the canonical skill at skills/open-code-review-delegate/SKILL.md. Keep both files synchronized when updating OCR delegation instructions; a symlink is avoided because plugin installs may only materialize the plugin subtree.

A skill for performing AI code review where OCR provides deterministic engineering (file filtering, rule resolution) and the host agent performs the actual review using its own intelligence and tools.

Workflow

Step 1: Preview, Determine What to Review

ocr delegate preview --format json [--from <ref> --to <ref>] [--commit <hash>] [--exclude <patterns>]

This outputs:

• mode (workspace / range / commit)
• from / to / commit / merge_base, ref metadata for constructing git commands
• Reviewable file list, paths, status, insertions/deletions
• Excluded files, with exclusion reason

Common invocations:

Scenario	Command
Workspace changes	ocr delegate preview
Branch comparison	ocr delegate preview --from main --to feature
Single commit	ocr delegate preview -c abc123

Step 2: Get Rules for Files

ocr delegate rule --format json <path1> <path2> ...

Pass the reviewable file paths from Step 1. Output is grouped by rule content, files sharing the same rule appear under one group, avoiding repetition.

Step 3: Get Diffs

Choose the diff command using the mode and refs from Step 1. Use git --no-pager for every Git call during the review.

The diff commands disable external diff programs, text conversion, and color to produce plain patches.

Range mode (merge_base provided in preview output):

git --no-pager diff --no-ext-diff --no-textconv --no-color <merge_base>..<to> -- "<path>"

Commit mode:

git --no-pager show --no-ext-diff --no-textconv --no-color <commit> -- "<path>"
