Excerpt

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.

Prerequisites

which ocr || echo "NOT INSTALLED"

If ocr is not installed:

npm install -g @alibaba-group/open-code-review

No LLM configuration is needed for delegation mode.
