Having Codex review a Claude-written PR: 6 comments, only 1 real bug
Specialist_Agent3599 · reddit · 2026-09-18
A developer shares a cross-agent workflow: after Claude opened a PR, Codex offered to review it and left 6 comments — 4 were style nits, 1 was wrong, and 1 flagged a genuine bug in the retry logic. Notably, CodeRabbit had flagged the same bug an hour earlier in nearly identical wording, suggesting convergence across review tools. Yet neither agent noticed the endpoint wasn't wired up at all, underscoring that human review still matters. The author is polling the community on whether having two agents check each other is smart or foolish.
