Direct answer
Can Claude Code and Codex work together?
Yes. Claude Code and OpenAI Codex can work in the same broader workflow when an orchestration layer gives each runtime a clear task, limits the context transferred between them, preserves attributed outputs, and brings both results to one human review. Raltic verifies both as bridge runtimes and can place them in the same workspace.

The short answer first, followed by the operating details and next decision.
How should their roles be divided?
Assign distinct work rather than asking both agents to produce the same broad answer.
One runtime might inspect implementation and tests while another critiques risks or checks a different subsystem. Independent duplicate review can also be useful when disagreement is intentional.
- 01Implementation and critique
- 02Repository inspection and research
- 03Primary review and independent check
- 04Different bounded components
How should context move between runtimes?
Transfer the minimum evidence needed through explicit messages, artifacts, and tasks.
Avoid copying entire private sessions. Preserve source attribution and identify which runtime had access to which files or tools so reviewers can interpret the result.
Who owns the final decision?
A human reviewer remains responsible for accepting code findings, changes, or release decisions.
Two agents agreeing does not make the result correct. Review diffs, tests, source evidence, and unresolved disagreement before acceptance.
