You asked Claude to fix the bug. Claude said done. You ship it. An hour later you find out it's still broken — and you couldn't have known, because you can't read the code.
This skill makes that scenario impossible.

🟦 Claude · 🟧 Codex · 👤 You (only on real deadlocks)
git clone https://github.com/birdindasky/codex-pair ~/codex-pair-src
cp -r ~/codex-pair-src/skills/codex-pair ~/.claude/skills/Open Claude Code, type /, look for codex-pair.
Needs: Claude Code + openai/codex-plugin-cc plugin. Run /codex:setup once if Codex isn't set up yet.
In any Claude Code conversation, say one of:
codex pair thistwo-AI modeuse codex on this
Mid-pipeline overrides: skip codex (cancel) · skip review (bypass review) · run them in parallel (switch to worktree mode).
Costs roughly 2× tokens of solo Claude · slower than solo (consensus loop adds time) · won't save you from wrong requirements at step 1. For typo fixes or one-line tweaks, just ask Claude directly. This pipeline is for projects.
