Claude Codex Bridge
Real, working Claude<->Codex audit-handoff pipeline with durable run tracking, but the skill scripts are dead on arrival without a separately-installed bridge runtime

Actually ran the shipped send-to-codex.mjs script end to end against a real workspace: it wrote a real handoff file to .agent-bridge/inbox/, created a runId-scoped run directory, and - since Codex CLI wasn't installed here - correctly produced a bridge_error.json with a precise three-option fix instead of ever claiming the audit happened. The catch: the scripts hard-depend on agent-bridge/bridge.mjs, a runtime that lives outside the skill folder entirely, so a literal cp -r of just the skill directory is broken until that sibling runtime is installed separately.

What Claude Codex Bridge does
Packages a completed Claude (or Codex) execution into a structured handoff, calls the other CLI in read-only audit mode via a local Node bridge, and returns findings plus a suggested reply in the same conversation, writing every run's transfer file and success/error status under .agent-bridge/ for later inspection. Triggers when a user wants Codex/GPT-5.5 to audit Claude's latest work, wants Claude to audit a Codex handoff, or wants an automated Claude-Codex review loop.
How to install Claude Codex Bridge
git clone https://github.com/Jayden-X-L/claude-codex-bridge.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r claude-codex-bridge/.claude/skills/claude-codex-bridge ~/.claude/skills/claude-codex-bridge
# ALSO required for the scripts to find anything: cp -r claude-codex-bridge/agent-bridge ~/.agent-bridge (or run `node agent-bridge/bridge.mjs install` from the clone)
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Claude Codex Bridge skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from Jayden-X-L/claude-codex-bridge. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Claude Codex Bridge work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Actually ran the shipped send-to-codex.mjs script end to end against a real workspace: it wrote a real handoff file to .agent-bridge/inbox/, created a runId-scoped run directory, and - since Codex CLI wasn't installed here - correctly produced a bridge_error.json with a precise three-option fix instead of ever claiming the audit happened.

- How do I install Claude Codex Bridge?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Claude Codex Bridge with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
