Using Claude Code and Codex Together: The Multi-Tool Strategy
Claude Code and Codex CLI are not competitors. The practitioners who get the most out of AI-assisted development treat them as complementary tools with.
Staying Engaged with Your Codebase in an Agentic World
There is a specific feeling that sets in about two weeks after you start delegating heavily to Codex.
Skills as Progressive Disclosure: Architecture Differences Between Skills and MCP
Two mechanisms exist for giving Codex CLI access to external knowledge and tools: Agent Skills and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). On the surface they.
Security Hardening Your Codex CLI Setup
Codex CLI gives agents broad reach into your filesystem, shell environment, and network. That power comes with real attack surface.
Reasoning Effort Tuning: Minimal to xhigh for Cost and Speed
Codex CLI's reasoning engine has a single knob that dramatically affects cost, speed, and quality: model_reasoning_effort.
The Proof of Work Principle: Why Agents Need to Show Their Working
There is a habit that developers have fallen into when working with autonomous coding agents: they read the diff, nod, and merge. The code arrived from.
Planning Mode in Practice: When to Use It and When to Skip It
Most developers activate planning mode once, see an agent propose a numbered list, and then leave it on permanently — or switch it off after a frustrating.
Context Window Management: Avoiding Compaction with Sub-Agent Delegation
Long Codex sessions degrade. Not catastrophically — the model does not forget your instructions — but its reliability erodes as the context fills with tool.
