We can now use Codeex inside of Cloud Code, and one of the best use cases is Codeex's adversarial review. This means we can have Codeex take a look at the code Opus wrote. This way, we don't get stuck in the situation where Opus is both the idea guy, and the generator guy, and the evaluator guy, right? We can kind of get a second pair of eyes using this adversarial review.
So, let me break down the eight-step process. The first thing it does is it parses the arguments here. It's just taking a look at the flags we give it. You don't really have to do any of this; it has default settings.
Next, Codeex takes a look at what it's actually going to be reviewing. So, it estimates the size, resolves a target, and collects all the context from the codebase.
Next is step five, which is where it builds the adversarial prompt. Here, it's looking at seven different things: authentication, data loss, rollbacks, race conditions, degraded dependencies, version skew, and observability gap. So, seven things that might not seem obvious on the surface, but can totally sideline your application if you try to push it to production.
It then sends all that information back to Codeex and gives Claude Code a structured output. Remember, Claude Code is just a harness. It can sit on top of Opus or Codeex. And that output looks something like this: gives us the summary, the findings, breaks down the severity, as well as the recommendations and next steps. But for you, the user, you just inside of Cloud Code, and it's going to bring it all back to the terminal.
So, this adversarial review is a great use case for the Codeex plug-in inside of Cloud Code, especially because Codeex is so much cheaper than the Anthropic options.
