Want a good "first loop" to use with Codex?
"When you are done designing the API, get a second opinion from Opus with 'claude -p'"
This has significantly improved the quality of the code I get out of OpenAI models.
Users praise the CEO's workflow of using Claude Opus to review and improve OpenAI Codex outputs because cross-model checks create effective peer review and strong results.

@theo theo... remember that refund i did?... can i take it back... 🥹
@theo Have you tried @steipete’s oracle skill? It queries ChatGPT pro which is a nice alternative too
@theo people should finally be discovering that cross model reviews are so fucking useful
Actually there should be a loop of llm council (not the general one) where these 2/3 llms sit and then there's this main llm that evaluates until it passes a threshold
I'm thinking to build this, don't know if people would use it though (improves response for speed and a bit of price tradeoff)
@maria_rcks You can have whatever sub you want lol, the content is worth it
Solid tip. I’ve been doing something similar but with a slight twist: after the main model finishes the core logic, I run a quick second pass with Opus 4.8 asking: ‘Review this as a senior engineer – flag over-engineering, missed edge cases and anything that will bite us in 6 months.’ The difference in maintainability is noticeable. Especially powerful when you mix models (speed from one + judgment from another).
Do you keep it to just two models or sometimes bring in a third for the review?
@theo i have 10-15 instances running right now, i’ve been using 5.5/4.8 collaboration lately with great success
@theo damn, i do this; it gets slow though but you need a hardass like opus to set people pleaser like gpt straight
@theo I do it with a custom skill that now defaults to opus 4.8 max
We’ve been doing this for while with http://GitHub.com/autohandai/commander works with any coding agent but I start with Gemini cli first “now antigravity cli” for creative thinking then I fish with …. autohand -p “ be that critical guy on this implementation that never approves a PR and address the feedback to the change with git ammend”
@theo I actually do it reverse most of the time just due to the creativity of opus, but tell it to use codex-cli for adversarial review! Nice to see other people take advantage of it
@theo im kidding, but maybe when fable comes back
@sdamico Bro you make stoves wtf are you dual wielding $200 subs for
@theo How is that a loop?
@theo Codex : Oh shit he knows !!
@theo Check what I did with http://unpeel.com. A built-in sessions MCP that lets agents boot up other terminal sessions and control them
@theo Yall are only just finding out you can do this???
@theo I used to do this with the Gemini models, back when GPT produced barely usable UI designs, essentially asking GPT to conduct Gemini for UI design guides for what it wants to design
@theo i’ve been using this trick for a while. I use it the other way around too.
@maria_rcks @theo 🤣
