I prefer having codex author plans and implement, and claude play reviwer. I do swap them from time to time and i have a lot of respect for claude 4.6 and 4.7 but for my domain I think codex does a better job with the authoring.

That's a cool idea! Plus I bet you can stay in lower tiers with both?

You're definitely burning more tokens with the back/forth and multi-step approach but assuming you swap who does the authoring from time to time you can definitely get the max out of each plan. Review doesn't use as many tokens.
