review-negotiator

review-negotiator

Negotiate a code or plan review to convergence between Claude Code and Codex CLI via a shared local MCP server, or get a quick single-shot second opinion from Codex — including mid-planning.

What this is

Two plugins around one local MCP server ("negotiator"):

• plugins/review-negotiator — the Claude Code plugin. Ships the MCP server itself, a negotiated-review skill that drives the negotiation loop, and /review-negotiator:setup, /review-negotiator:negotiate, /review-negotiator:consult commands.
• plugins/review-negotiator-codex — the Codex plugin. Ships a negotiation-reviewer skill so Codex can act as the reviewer, and registers the same MCP server.

The negotiator server enforces a small state machine (a shared scratchpad) so the two sides negotiate to a real agreed or deadlocked conclusion — never a forced consensus — or, in advise mode, exchange a single second opinion that can be promoted into a full negotiation.

See ~/.claude/plans/this-seems-like-an-moonlit-river.md for the full design.

Install (dev)

# Claude Code side
/plugin marketplace add ~/GitRepos/review-negotiator
/plugin install review-negotiator@review-negotiator
/review-negotiator:setup

setup also installs the Codex-side plugin and bootstraps the launchd daemon.

Usage

• /review-negotiator:negotiate [code|plan] [focus text] — full negotiation to convergence.
• /review-negotiator:consult [question] — single-shot second opinion (works mid-planning).
• Natural language also works: "get Codex to review this and negotiate to agreement", "ask Codex what it thinks of this approach".
