Claudex Loop: make Claude and ChatGPT check each other's work

Claude writes the plan, Codex tears it apart with proof, they go back and forth until it's approved. One builds it, the other inspects it. Whoever built it never grades it.

CostFree skill (MIT). Needs a Claude plan and a ChatGPT plan
SetupAbout 20 minutes

What it does

3Python 3.10 or newerRuns the small helper. No API keys needed.

The GitHub page, explained

Free tools like this live on GitHub. Open github.com/chaseai-yt/claudex-loop and this is what you'll see at the top:

The chaseai-yt/claudex-loop GitHub page: Star count, green Code button and About box marked 1 to 3
  1. Star (2.9k): how many people saved it. More stars means more people trust it. Clicking it is optional and needs a free GitHub account.
  2. Green Code button: the download button. You only need it if a step below tells you to.
  3. About: one line on what it does, so you know you're on the right page.

Scroll down the GitHub page to README: that's the creator's full manual. This page is the simple version.

Step by step

Install Claude Code

Run this in Terminal (Mac) or PowerShell (Windows), then log in:

Mac (Terminal)
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Install Codex and log in

Codex is OpenAI's coding agent. Install it, then run codex and choose Sign in with ChatGPT:

Mac (Terminal)
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Windows (PowerShell)
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"

Tip: Check it worked with codex --version and codex login status.

Add Claudex Loop to Claude Code

Open Claude Code in your project folder and add the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add chaseai-yt/claudex-loop
/plugin install claudex-loop@claudex-loop

Run it on a small feature first

Describe what you want. It plans, gets Codex's review, then builds and gets an independent inspection.

Example
claudex this feature — plan and implement it

Tip: Read PLAN-REVIEW-LOG.md before you approve the build. It shows every finding and the evidence.

Useful ways to run it

Type these in Claude Code.

claudex this feature — plan and implement it
claudex this plan, mode=review, plan=docs/plan.md, rounds=3
claudex-route: who should handle this task? Prioritize cost.
claudex-route: recommend a second opinion on this plan before we build.

The catch

Stuck?

It says Codex isn't found
Run codex --version in Terminal. If nothing comes back, run the install command again, then run codex and sign in with ChatGPT.
Which model does it use?
Each tool's own setting. You can ask for reviewer_model=gpt-6-astra or claude-fable-5-1 if your account has them.
Can I only review a plan, without building?
Yes: claudex this plan, mode=review, plan=YOUR-PLAN.md. Reviewing never starts building by itself.
