What it does

Codex for Claude Code is OpenAI's plugin that brings Codex into Claude Code. It adds commands to have Codex look over your current changes, run a challenge review that questions a specific decision, or hand a task to Codex in the background and collect the result later. A setup command checks that Codex is installed and signed in. It suits developers who use Claude Code and want a second opinion from another company's agent.

A second agent from a different company looks at the same work, which can catch problems the first one misses.

  • It runs scripts and connects to the internet. Read the official page to see what it does before installing.
