@agentic.james: If you're not using Claude Code to drive Codex you're probably burning tokens and shipping worse code. There's a plugin that lets Claude Code call Codex directly, and once you've run both you see exactly why it works. Claude Code is better at the orchestration and multi-agent planning, Codex subsidizes way more tokens so you get more runway, and Codex tends to write more surgical production-ready code with less tech debt. Pair them and they cover each other's gaps, you let the heavier model handle planning and orchestration and let Codex do the actual execution. Your cost per good output drops because the expensive model only plans while the efficient one builds. I break down the full setup plus everything from Claude Code fundamentals to multi-agent systems in my Skool community. Link in bio.
hey brother. ive learned that its not a simple catch all regarding single or multiple agents.
many of my tasks as an engineer are sequential processes that cannot move forward correctly unless the previous step has been verified and fine tuned. i do use subagents for specific tasks and when I need batches of pre planned tasks, I can send it out to a Modal team of agents for bulk execution... But about 90% of my work is just single agent flow with a human in the loop. if something should be blocked until a previous task is done, then no amount of compute will be a good choice. theres no substitute for "you must complete step 1 before moving on to step 2."
But its very easy to go down the rabit hole of thinking "i'm gonna throw more compute at something to make it go faster."
most people will be better off by never even trying to learn about single agent vs agent teams and the times to use which... Its easy to screw stuff up quick when we screw with stuff we dont understand

I use Hermes agent and have the orchestration skill, and then I have a pretty overly engineered the soul MD and let that cook.
