What is Kevin7Qi/codex-collab?

Codex-collab is an open-source integration that lets Claude Code interact with Codex for joint code generation and refinement. It focuses on passing prompts, receiving completions, and merging outputs in a single session.

The tool operates by establishing a bridge that forwards relevant context from one model to the other while preserving conversation state. Developers configure the connection once and then invoke collaboration commands as needed during their workflow.

It serves programmers and AI-assisted teams who already use both Claude and Codex and want to reduce context switching between separate interfaces.

Capabilities

collaborate with codex

integrate with claude code

enable multi-model coding workflows

What you can build with Kevin7Qi/codex-collab

Joint code review

Send a function written in Claude to Codex for alternative implementation suggestions and merge the best parts.

Multi-model debugging

Share error traces with both models simultaneously to compare diagnosis approaches and recommended fixes.

Feature prototyping

Iterate on a new module by letting Claude outline structure then delegating specific functions to Codex for completion.
