Claude as PM, Codex and Gemini as workers, with done enforced in code
Seunghyeon413 · reddit · 2026-07-28
The author runs Claude as a PM over Codex and Gemini workers, with a separate auditor that owns the work ledger and verifies completion by running shell checks.
Key design choices:
- No agent can mark criteria as passed; only the verifier can.
- No agent can declare itself done; a settle gate keeps it active until every check passes and a QA package is prepared.
- Workers do not chat status; a stop hook writes to a status file, and the harness only injects deltas.
The broader lesson is to move durable rules out of prompts and into code. The repo is MIT-licensed, but the author says it is a personal, rough-edged harness for one machine, not a product.
