codex-plugin-cc

Overview

codex-plugin-cc is OpenAI's official plugin that brings Codex capabilities into Claude Code, enabling seamless handoffs between the two AI coding agents for code reviews, adversarial reviews, task delegation, and background execution. With 26,500+ GitHub stars, it formalizes the "multi-agent developer workflow" — Claude Code writes and iterates, Codex reviews and challenges, and the developer mediates.

Features

• /codex:review — standard read-only code review
• /codex:adversarial-review — challenge implementation decisions
• /codex:rescue — delegate bugs, fixes, or tasks to Codex
• /codex:transfer — move sessions to Codex for specialized tasks
• Background execution — long-running tasks don't block the terminal
• Review gate — optional quality gate for PRs

Installation

/plugin marketplace add openai/codex-plugin-cc
/plugin install codex@openai-codex

When to Use

codex-plugin-cc is ideal for teams already using Claude Code who want to incorporate OpenAI Codex's strengths into their workflow. Use it when you need a second opinion on code quality, want to delegate complex debugging tasks to a specialized agent, or want to implement a multi-agent code review pipeline.
