Multi turn review of code written by cc reviewed by codex works pretty well. Been one of the only ways to be able to deliver larger scoped features without constant bugs. I've seen them do 10-15 rounds of fix and review until complete. Also implemented this as a gh action, works well for sentry to gh to auto triage to fix pr.

Yes I’ve had a lot of success with this too. I found with prompt tightening I seldom do more than 5 rounds now, but it also does an explicit plan step with plan review. Currently I’m authoring with codex and reviewing with opus.

Good reminder: don't forget the plan review!

The vibes are great. But there’s a need for more science on this multi agent thing.

I agree! Right now it is leveraging the Codex App Server, which is open-source and very well implemented, but using Claude Code Channels is probably a bit hacky. The good thing is that it establishes a direct connection so it's already much better than having one agent spawn the other and wait for its output, or read/write to a shared .md file -- but it would be cool to make it work for all agent harnesses.

Nice - I do something similar in a semi manual way.

I do find Codex very good at reviewing work marked as completed by Claude, especially when I get Claude to write up its work with a why,where & how doc.

It’s very rare Claude has fully completed the task successfully and Codex doesn’t find issues.

How do you do this? Are you just switching between clis? Or is there a tool that uses the models in that way?

I created the first version of loop after getting tired of doing this manually!
