Made a plugin that lets Codex work for Claude Code
Claude is genuinely great to use, but it's also genuinely expensive. Looking at the recent GPT-5.5 update, GPT's programming and coding capabilities are solid, but its planning and design abilities still fall short of Claude. So, from a total cost perspective, the most convenient and low-cost approach I've found is to let Claude plan the content in Claude Code, then have Codex execute the work. I achieve this through a plugin: https://github.com/limengdu/claude-delegate-tasks-to-codex
Before installing this plugin, you may need to install openai/codex-plugin-cc and jarrodwatt/claude-hud. codex-plugin-cc is developed by OpenAI itself, serving as a command-line tool to invoke Codex within CC. claude hud is a continuously displayed toolbar for checking Claude's quota and work information, which I use to monitor the tasks delegated to Codex.
I've currently designed three commands. The `once` command is used to have CC issue a one-time work command to Codex. The `on` and `off` commands control whether Claude Code continuously delegates tasks to Codex within a larger task phase, without needing to repeatedly invoke the command tool.
I haven't included too many prompts or requirements in this plugin, because I believe the more prompts and requirements there are, the more tokens will be consumed.
