To automate plan-review cycles between Claude and Codex, you orchestrate a dual-AI loop that plans, implements, and cross-reviews outputs with explicit handoffs. This reduces fragmentation in AI-assisted development by enforcing deterministic prompts and validation checks.

A dual-AI loop for AI-assisted development coordinates Claude and Codex to generate, validate, and refine tasks. It works by applying explicit handoffs between planning and implementation phases, using a reusable shell script to reproduce a round-trip cycle with safety constraints.

Yes, you need both Claude and Codex available to run this automated AI workflow loop. They act as the core dependencies required to execute the coordinated planning, implementation, and cross-review cycle with explicit handoffs.

To start a round-trip Claude-Codex loop, run the bundled shell script provided in the scaffold at .codex/skills/. This initiates the automated review cycle for a given task, applying deterministic prompts and validation checks to observe the output.

Limitations of using an automated AI loop include the need for safe execution isolation and rollback-ready prompts. While it provides deterministic validation, you must still enforce safety constraints manually to prevent unintended actions during the automated implementation phase.
