/approve

When to use it

  1. Retry a local test command after you confirm the auto-review denial was too conservative.
  2. Keep the current permission policy while allowing one specific denied action to run again.

CommandDifferenceChoose It When
/approveRetries one recent denied actionYou verified the specific action is acceptable
/permissionsChanges the permission policyFuture actions need different approval behavior
/reviewReviews the working treeYou want Codex to inspect code changes

Effects and persistence

Retries one selected recent auto-review denial once without changing future permission policy.

/approve lets you review a recent auto-review denial and retry that specific action once.

Cautions

  • /approve is not a permanent permission-policy change.
  • Repeated denials usually mean the policy or task setup needs adjustment.
