The Codex Plugin for Claude Code: Claude Writes, Codex Reviews

With OpenAI's official open-source Codex plugin you can get code reviews or hand off a task to Codex from inside Claude Code. Setup, commands and a free PDF guide.

In short: OpenAI’s official codex-plugin-cc lets you use Codex from inside Claude Code: get your code reviewed or hand a task over to Codex. Claude writes, Codex reviews. The plugin is open source under Apache-2.0.

Requirements

  • Account: a ChatGPT subscription (Free included) or an OpenAI API key. Usage counts against your Codex limits.
  • Node.js: 18.18 or later. Check with node -v.

Install (inside Claude Code)

/plugin marketplace add openai/codex-plugin-cc
/plugin install codex@openai-codex
/reload-plugins
/codex:setup

/codex:setup checks that Codex is installed and signed in. If Codex is missing, run npm install -g @openai/codex; to sign in, type !codex login in Claude Code.

Commands

  • /codex:review: read-only review of uncommitted changes or a branch. --base main compares the branch with main.
  • /codex:adversarial-review: a review that challenges design decisions, trade-offs and assumptions.
  • /codex:rescue: hands a task to Codex to investigate, fix or continue. Takes --background, --model, --effort.
  • /codex:transfer: creates a persistent Codex conversation from the current session.
  • /codex:status, /codex:result, /codex:cancel: watch background jobs, get results, stop them.

Suggested flow

  1. Have Claude write the feature.
  2. Run /codex:review.
  3. For important changes, challenge the design with /codex:adversarial-review.
  4. Have Claude fix what was found.
  5. When stuck, get a second opinion with /codex:rescue.

Heads up: /codex:setup --enable-review-gate reviews every response automatically but burns through usage fast. Only turn it on while you’re watching the session.

Free PDF guide
