What is the benefit of using Subcodex over standard Claude?

Subcodex allows for parallel processing via background subagents and maintains persistent session history, which is ideal for long-running or complex tasks.

Is it safe to give Subcodex system access?

Subcodex offers a --dangerous flag for full access, but also provides a --read-only mode for safer sandboxed reviews and analysis.

Can I control the intensity of the subagent's logic?

Yes, you can specify reasoning levels from 'low' to 'xhigh' depending on the complexity and cost-sensitivity of the task.

Does Subcodex require manual monitoring?

No, it is designed for background execution; Claude will receive a notification automatically via task-notification once the Codex subagent completes its task.

How does the collaboration between Claude and Codex work?

Claude typically acts as the lead architect, proposing the approach, while Codex handles the implementation, reviews, and detailed execution.

Collaboration Tools

Orchestrates persistent Codex subagents to perform complex background implementation and comprehensive code reviews alongside Claude.

About

Subcodex enables Claude to delegate complex, time-consuming tasks to specialized Codex subagents that run in the background. It maintains named, persistent sessions across conversations, allowing for a collaborative workflow where Claude manages high-level architecture while Codex handles deep implementation or rigorous security audits. With features like background execution, varying reasoning levels, and stealth browser capabilities, it allows developers to parallelize their workflow and leverage multi-agent synergy for high-stakes coding tasks.

Key Features

Asynchronous background execution for long-running implementation tasks
Flexible security modes ranging from read-only sandboxes to full system access
Advanced code review engine with configurable reasoning levels (up to xhigh)
Persistent named sessions that track progress across conversation compacts
Multi-agent collaboration workflow where Claude leads and Codex executes
3 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Performing deep security and logic reviews on uncommitted changes or specific branches
Delegating complex feature implementation to a background subagent while continuing other work
Managing long-running coding tasks that require high-level reasoning and persistent state
