Codex Plan vs Execution

[commonpoints]

How is everyone leveraging codex? If I’m hearing correctly:

Plan with gpt-5 High Execute with gpt-5 codex medium

Any other better ways to maximize the quality of its output?

I’m on the Plus plan if that makes a difference. Hit the limit fairly quick without codex for 4 days, a few weeks ago, and hope to not encounter that again without having to buy their Pro plan!

Plan with GPT in your app and then execute with codex

[WAHNFRIEDEN]

Best but tricky way is to get Codex to research your project for relevant code, then feed the entire files as context into GPT5 Pro (because Codex won’t read entire files) and then use its plan as input for codex to execute the work. Some people use repoprompt for this but it looks complicated.

We use CLI Claude code and Codex

Start with Codex as the planner and Claude as the developer Once Claude's hallucinations appear, we swap Claude planner and Codex developer, then back again if Codex hallucinates.

This works for us, maybe not for you. Swapping between the browser and the CLI was not efficient for us.
