claude-code-codex-bridge: Sync Your Claude Code Setup with Codex

Introduction

The claude-code-codex-bridge is an innovative Python tool designed to seamlessly integrate your Claude Code development environment with Codex. It acts as a one-way bridge, reading your Claude Code setup, including plugins, skills, agents, commands, MCP servers, and instructions, and generating equivalent Codex artifacts. This ensures that you only need to configure your AI coding tools once in Claude Code, and the bridge will keep Codex in sync, maintaining consistent effectiveness across both platforms.

Installation

Getting started with claude-code-codex-bridge is straightforward. The recommended method is to use the installer script from GitHub releases:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/vladolaru/claude-code-codex-bridge/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

This installer downloads a self-contained bundle and installs it with pip --no-index, eliminating the need for PyPI. It supports Python versions 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14.

To verify your installation and environment, run:

cc-codex-bridge doctor

You can also upgrade to the latest version at any time:

cc-codex-bridge upgrade

Examples

Once installed, claude-code-codex-bridge offers several commands to manage your AI coding environments:

Reconcile a Single Project

Navigate to your project directory and run reconcile to sync its Claude Code setup with Codex:

cd ~/path/to/your/project
cc-codex-bridge reconcile

You can preview the changes before applying them:

cc-codex-bridge reconcile --dry-run --diff --project .

Reconcile All Projects

To manage multiple projects, register scan paths and reconcile all at once:

cc-codex-bridge config scan add "~/path/to/projects/*"
cc-codex-bridge reconcile --all

Automatic Synchronization (macOS)

For continuous synchronization, install a background agent that runs reconcile --all every 30 minutes:

cc-codex-bridge autosync install

Check Synchronization Status

Verify the sync status for all your projects:

cc-codex-bridge status --all

Why Use It?

The claude-code-codex-bridge offers significant advantages for developers working with both Claude Code and Codex:

• Efficiency: Configure your AI agents, skills, and commands once in Claude Code and have them automatically mirrored in Codex, saving valuable time and effort.
• Consistency: Ensure that both your Claude Code and Codex environments are always up-to-date and equally effective, preventing discrepancies in your AI coding tools.
• Automation: Leverage features like autosync to maintain continuous synchronization in the background, allowing you to focus on coding rather than manual updates.
• Streamlined Management: Simplify the complex task of managing multiple AI coding tools by providing a unified source of truth for your configurations.
• Powerful Integration: Bridge the capabilities of two powerful AI development platforms, enhancing your overall coding workflow.
