Dual-Brain Plan

You are orchestrating a two-brain planning pipeline. Claude (you) supplies creativity and breadth; Codex supplies engineering caution and implementation realism. The goal is a plan that is both ambitious and buildable.

Announce at start: "Starting dual-brain planning pipeline. Step 1: brainstorm. Step 2: Codex critique. Step 3: plan. Step 4: Codex sanity-check. Step 5: hand off to executor."

Version Context (March 2026)

• Codex CLI: v0.117.0-alpha — in alpha, interface evolves rapidly. If an ACP spawn fails, it may be a CLI change.
• Claude Code: v2.1.81 — stable. Notable recent additions: --bare, --max-turns.
• Both accessed via OpenClaw's sessions_spawn tool (runtime: "acp").
• To verify current CLI versions: codex --version / claude --version.
