Codex vs Claude Code for large monorepos

We tested both on a 200k+ LOC codebase. Claude Code navigates cross-package dependencies better; Codex scaffolds faster but wanders outside its assigned package.

Use Claude to review Codex output, step by step

Codex is fast and overshoots; Claude is a pedantic reviewer. Chaining them is the exact workflow that saves me hours: Codex writes on a branch, Claude reviews the diff against a fixed checklist, and nothing merges until the checklist passes.

The minimal AGENTS.md that actually works

Fifteen lines, ~180 tokens, and it outperforms the 400-line files it replaced. Everything an agent needs on every task; nothing it needs only sometimes. The controversial part is what's missing.

Safe parallel agents with Git worktrees

Run three or four agents against the same repo without them stomping each other's changes. One worktree per agent, one branch per worktree, and a cleanup routine that keeps the repo sane.

What actually belongs in CLAUDE.md?

Mine grew to 600 lines and the agent ignores most of it. Time to talk about what earns a slot in the most expensive real estate in your repo.

How are you actually sandboxing coding agents?

Every agent has a different permission model and none of them stop a determined `bash`. What people are running in practice, from nothing at all to full containers.

How do you actually review a 4,000-line agent PR?

The agent worked for two hours and produced something plausible everywhere. Rubber-stamping is negligence, line-by-line is a full day. What's the actual workflow?

Prevent coding agents from reading production secrets

Agents read everything they can reach, including the .env you forgot about. Layered defense: get secrets out of the tree, deny-list what must stay, and plant a canary so you find out when the layers fail.

Wire Claude Code into the Xcode build-and-test loop

Claude Code can't see Xcode's build errors unless you hand them over. XcodeBuild MCP plus a formatter that strips the noise gives the agent a real edit-build-test loop for SwiftUI work — the difference between guessing and iterating.

Production AGENTS.md for SwiftUI apps

The AGENTS.md running my shipping iOS app. Simulator names, the exact xcodebuild invocations, SwiftUI conventions the agent kept violating until they were written down, and a definition of done that includes a green test run.
