Contract Review with Codex: API Runtime Pattern
A production playbook for contract review in cross-industry operations using Codex: api runtime pattern, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Legal operations teams
The problem
Legal operations teams need contract review to run repeatedly against contracts, redlines, exhibits, and policy memos. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Package the contract review instructions as a skill, send contracts, redlines, exhibits, and policy memos as run-scoped inputs, execute with Codex, poll terminal status, and consume argo.result.v1 instead of parsing a transcript.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
The API boundary forces the workflow to define inputs, terminal states, and result shape before customers depend on it. For contract review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
