Cc Pair

Cc Pair is an agent tool where Claude Code and Codex review each other's work through messages in a shared directory.

Pair lets Claude Code and Codex review each other's work by having one agent author a change and the other review it. They exchange messages through files in a shared directory with symmetric roles. In auto mode, the tool opens the author and runs the other agent as the reviewer for each round. In manual mode, users run both agents themselves. A review thread consists of numbered messages including a request, followed by alternating reviews and responses. It closes when the reviewer approves or escalates after a set number of rounds if findings remain open.
