Consult the other coding agent — Claude Code calls Codex, Codex calls Claude Code. Use for second opinions, code review, consensus, or dispatching tasks to the other agent. Two modes: one-shot for quick questions, tmux session for extended collaboration. Triggers: "confer", "ask claude", "ask codex", "second opinion", "get a review from", "use claude for", "use codex for", "dispatch to".
# Confer Call the other agent. If you're Claude Code, call Codex. If you're Codex, call Claude Code. ## One-Shot For quick questions, reviews, or dispatched tasks. **Claude Code → Codex:** ```bash codex exec --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox "<prompt>" ``` **Codex → Claude Code:** ```bash claude -p --dangerously-skip-permissions "<prompt>" ``` Both return output to stdout. Use this for: - Second opinions on code or architecture - Quick reviews ("review this diff for correctness") - Dispatching a well-scoped task ("refactor X using pattern Y") ## Tmux Session For extended collaboration where back-and-forth is needed. ```bash tmux new-session -d -s confer -c "$(pwd)" ``` **Send a message (two steps — Enter must be separate):** ```bash tmux send-keys -t confer "<command or prompt>" "" tmux send-keys -t confer Enter ``` **Read the response:** ```bash tmux capture-pane -t confer -p -S -50 ``` Start the other agent in the session, then send follow-up prompts with send-keys. This mode suits open-ended collaboration: iterating on a design, working through a problem together, or anything that needs multiple exchanges. ## When to Use Which **One-shot** — You have a clear question or task. Fire and forget. **Tmux** — You need a conversation. Multiple rounds, evolving context, genuine collaboration.
