SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cross-reviewing coding tasks by running two leading AI coding agents (Codex and Claude Code) in parallel to generate independent plans and a final best plan, improving quality and reducing bias.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Independent Round 1 planning: both agents generate high-level implementation plans for the given feature.
  • Round 2 revised plans: each agent reviews the other agent's R1 plan and produces a refined plan.
  • Best-plan synthesis: a consolidated plan that merges strengths and resolves disagreements.
  • HTML report: an accessible, side-by-side comparison of plans and the final verdict.

Quick Start

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I cross-review code using multiple AI agents?▼

You can cross-review code by pairing Codex and Claude Code to run a structured four-round workflow. Both agents generate independent plans, revise each other's work, and synthesize a final best plan delivered as an HTML report.

What is the best way to compare implementation plans from different AI coding assistants?▼

Comparing implementation plans from different AI coding assistants is best handled by a structured cross-review that produces an HTML report. This report consolidates independent and revised plans into a single final best plan for side-by-side comparison.

Can I use Claude Code and Codex together for feature development planning?▼

Yes, you can use Claude Code and Codex together for feature development planning. The cross-review workflow pairs them to independently plan, review each other's proposals, and merge strengths to reduce bias and improve feature implementation quality.

How does a four-round cross-review process work for coding tasks?▼

A four-round cross-review process for coding tasks works by having two AI agents generate independent plans in round one, review and refine each other's plans in round two, and ultimately synthesize a consolidated best plan to reduce individual agent bias.

Does cross-reviewing code with AI work across multiple repositories?▼

Cross-reviewing code with AI does work across multiple repositories. The workflow applies to feature development tasks where planning and cross-checking across two AI agents are required, explicitly supporting validation steps across multiple repositories.
