Codex-first workflow delegates coding to Codex

Smart multi-agent routing is the future of developer environments; dividing labor between high-cost reasoning models and flat-rate implementation workers is the most cost-effective blueprint for AI-assisted engineering.

• –**Cost-Efficiency Optimization**: By offloading routine code writing to flat-rate Codex models, developers dramatically reduce their consumption of expensive, metered reasoning tokens.
• –**Clear Division of Labor**: Claude functions as the manager and architect (specifying, reviewing, verifying), while Codex acts as the mechanical builder (writing, refactoring, migrating).
• –**Automation at Scale**: The skill relies on headless tools like `codex exec` paired with the `--yolo` flag to bypass approval steps and accelerate the build loop.
• –**Human/Orchestrator Oversight**: Critical operations (e.g. git pushes, releases, final review) are intentionally kept on the orchestrator side to prevent automated code regressions.
