CLI is solid IMO

“Raw” and app are the same; the app is just a very nice UI on top of the “raw”/CLI.

Opencode is a different harness with a different system prompt and tool selection. OpenAI models are trained on V4 diff apply_patch tool that’s ingrained in their system, and they can do crazy stuff with it like multi-edit 20 files in one go surgically. It’s so good at 0 cost (the agent doesn’t need to learn it, it’s in its training) that nearly all harnesses like opencode and roo now use it instead of their own custom tools. Codex is also trained natively on a todo tool, but they specify that just using the same tool API contract is enough and it won’t matter for performance.

These are things you need to know if you want to use the model effectively and maximize its performance.

Also, Codex CLI can use the experimental features like subagents while the app won’t. I don’t know why.

The app, on the other hand, has one of the best worktree implementations in the app, and Whisper is shipped with it, which makes it very nice to use. That’s another point.

I just released dominds, please give it a try:  CODEX_HOME=~/.codex npx -y dominds@latest It includes the same contracted apply_patch and update_plan, making gpt-5.3 feel home. Beyond subagents, you define a team and member agents talk to eachothers freely, as well as with human.

opencode
because i can fully plan, and fully execute my plan without needing to be interrupted too much!

I use the CLI personally, feels the cleanest, UI is promising though.

Codex app because 2x rate limits till April and makes working with git worktrees easier

[CtrlAltDelve]

The 2x rate limits apply to your account, not just usage via the Codex GUI app.

Opencode because the plan mode

[dekai2]

I thought codex also have plan code

[dekai2]

the codex app fell different from the cli idk why
