Work I have access to both Claude Code and Codex. Use them both, typically on the same work. I like to do brainstorming and solution design with Codex GPT 5.5 High, and then have Claude Opus 4.7/4.8 high/medium do the implementation.

So far been quite productive for some greenfield rewrites and refactors of existing code. Though bug fixing our main project it's more hit and miss, though Codex GPT 5.5 High can be very good at spotting subtle issues.

How do you a) share context/chat etc with each other? plugin? have them make a file? Why did you opt for either of them instead of something like opencode that supports those models?

Currently we're mostly working on separate issues or aspects, so not much context sharing needed. We have some skills that we share in a shared network directory.

As for why using both instead of OpenCode or similar, well, subscriptions take you a long way for not very much. Also security is a thing here now so sec guys feel more comfortable with big names rather than "random" open source.

Opencode and other harnesses like Pi do support codex and claude(for now) subscriptions, but the point about security makes sense.
