Cross-Review: Parallel Dual Review

Overview

Parallel review workflow between Claude and Codex CLI. Both models review the same artifact simultaneously and independently, then findings go through a three-stage resolution pipeline: initial triage → cross-validation (each model verifies the other's findings) → evidence-based research (documentation/code inspection for remaining disputes). Only genuinely inconclusive disagreements reach the user. Repeats until clean or max rounds reached. Auto-apply is the default; the user is consulted only for needs-decision items where evidence couldn't break a tie.

Core principle: Two independent perspectives are stronger than one. Neither model sees the other's review until triage. Disagreements are resolved by evidence first (cross-validation, then documentation/code research) — the user is only asked to decide when evidence is genuinely inconclusive. Confirmed findings are applied automatically; the user is consulted only for genuinely inconclusive disagreements.
