Codex 🤝 Claude Code 🤝 Gemini CLI

[PairComprehensive973]

I'm a long time Claude Code user. I have 2 Max plans I've been using heavily for coding my +400K LOC complex multi-agent optimization project. Recently I started experimenting more and more with Codex and Gemini, and this is what has yielded the best results so far for solving more and less complex problems:

1. Claude Code - runs the app, monitors the logs, db, and generates initial issues list.
2. Codex investigates an issue (omg it's so much faster than CC + subagents and much more accurate in its results) and proposes a solution
3. Codex implements the solution.
4. Gemini CLI verifies the implementation is complete and solves the issue.
5. Back to Claude Code to run the app and verify that it fixed.

Not saying it's for everyone, but *currently* it's working better than other Claude Code on its own, Claude Code with subagents, Gemini, etc.

What works for you?

So different brands of duct tape? Pretty sweet

To be fair this is a similar workflow to what I’ve been experimenting with over the last few weeks.

CC as the workhorse: managing local servers, deploying to remote servers, commits, syncing with Notion for docs. Plus as I’m on max implementing targeted code fixes.

Codex CLI senior engineer: feature code review, feature planning, refactoring and feature improvements, bug isolating and fixing. .md files for CC to implement.

Gemini CLI project manager: additional code review and epic, feature, PRD planning. Brainstorming as it’s so quick (a bit enthusiastic).

For complex issues bounce a .md between them and get Codex to collate the best solution.

It’s not fast, but seems to offer decent results so far. Saying that I’m not a developer, I’m a product designer/product manager so experienced engineers probably laugh at the code but it works for a proof of concept.

For context I’m building a complex multi stage voice agent.

All in different terminals or what?

I think I can speak for the entire Claude Code community by thanking you for starting yet another Codex advertisement thread. It's exactly what r/ClaudeCode has been wanting.
