Collaborating with Claude Code

Use this skill for second opinions, code review, test design, or code implementations/alternatives. The bridge runs claude (Claude Code) non-interactively ("print" mode) and returns JSON.

The script is located at ~/.codex/skills/collaborating-with-claude-code/scripts/claude_code_bridge.py.

Timing

Claude Code often needs 1–2+ minutes per task.

• Prefer running the bridge directly (no &); increase --timeout-s as needed (default: 1800s).
• Do NOT redirect stdout to a file (e.g. > /tmp/out.json).
• By default, the bridge streams Claude's assistant text to stderr, and prints only the final JSON envelope to stdout.

Context

• Do NOT read the script unless you are modifying it;
• Before running the script, ALWAYS use python <script_loc> --help to get the usage instructions.
