All review calls use Codex MCP (mcp__codex__codex) with reasoning_effort: xhigh.
This is the default for ALL skills. No parameter, no config, no effort level changes this.
When the user explicitly passes — reviewer: oracle-pro, route the review through Oracle MCP instead of Codex MCP.
Parse $ARGUMENTS for `— reviewer:` directive.
If not specified OR `— reviewer: codex`:
→ Use mcp__codex__codex with reasoning_effort: xhigh
→ This is the DEFAULT. No change from current behavior.
If `— reviewer: oracle-pro`:
→ Check if mcp__oracle__consult tool is available
→ If available:
Use mcp__oracle__consult with:
model: "gpt-5.4-pro"
prompt: [same prompt you would send to Codex]
files: [file paths for reviewer to read directly]
Note: Oracle may use API mode (fast, needs OPENAI_API_KEY)
or browser mode (slow ~1-2 min, needs Chrome + ChatGPT login)
→ If NOT available:
Print: "⚠️ Oracle MCP not installed. Falling back to Codex xhigh."
Use mcp__codex__codex as normal.
— reviewer: oracle-proONLY takes effect when explicitly passed- Reviewer independence protocol still applies (pass file paths, not summaries)
effortanddifficultyare orthogonal — they don't change reviewer backendbeastmode may RECOMMEND oracle-pro but never requires it- Browser mode: acceptable for one-shot reviews; NOT recommended inside multi-round loops (too slow/brittle)

# Install Oracle CLI + MCP
npm install -g @steipete/oracle
# Add Oracle MCP to Claude Code
claude mcp add oracle -s user -- oracle-mcp
# Restart Claude Code session to load
# API mode (fast, recommended):
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"
# Browser mode (no API key, slower):
# Just log in to ChatGPT in ChromeIf Oracle is not installed, — reviewer: oracle-pro gracefully falls back to Codex. No error, no breakage, just a warning.
