Should we plan with Codex, then code with Claude?
Or should we plan with Claude, then code with Codex? How about yes. I found myself converging to this workflow for more complicated features. I would give the same prompt to Codex and Claude and ask each to create a PRD file for the feature. The independence mattered, because the moment one model sees the other's plan, the answer collapses toward whoever spoke first. Once I had the PRDs, I would manually ask both Codex and Claude to critique the other plan, and revise theirs based on the findings of the other. Eventually I would converge to a final PRD where both models had reached agreement. This final PRD was meaningfully better than what either model produced alone. Doing this manually was annoying, so I packaged it. Presenting The Order of the Agents. The Order of the Agents convenes a sworn fellowship of AI agents (Codex, Claude, and other CLIs you trust) around a single question. Each agent takes a position, challenges the others, and revises in turn, until the Order issues a final decree. Every oath, critique, and revision is recorded as Markdown, so the reasoning behind the decision is auditable, shareable, and yours to keep. You can even do a grill-me style intake first to finesse the requirement before the Order convenes. That mode was inspired by Matt Pocock's grill-me skill. You can install it locally with npm: npm install agent-order Requires codex and claude CLIs (or other agent CLIs you trust) already installed and logged in.
