Ask Claude and SOL for Codex
A second opinion is useful. Two independent second opinions are more useful when they do not take turns borrowing each other's assumptions.
Ask Claude and SOL for Codex is an Agent Skill that sends one question to Claude Code and a fresh normal Codex SOL project task in parallel. Claude runs through its own authenticated CLI. SOL runs inside the Codex host that invoked the Skill, so it needs no second Codex CLI, runtime installation, executable lookup, or login.
The defaults are **Fable 5.1 with high reasoning effort** and **GPT-5.6 SOL with `xhigh` (very high) reasoning effort**.
Why this Skill?
A fresh SOL project task receives the same self-contained question as Claude, without copied parent turns or the other adviser's answer. It uses the existing Codex host rather than launching another Codex CLI.
Fresh context separates the conversations. It does not create a separate sandbox. SOL still inherits host instructions, tools, and permissions.
How to use
Invoke the Skill explicitly or ask naturally:
$ask-claude-and-sol-for-codex Review this implementation plan with the defaults.
Ask Fable and SOL whether this fix addresses the root cause.
Ask Claude using model alias opus and SOL with max effort to challenge this architecture.
Unless overridden, the Skill uses:
| Setting | Claude | SOL |
|---|---|---|
| Model | claude-fable-5-1 |
gpt-5.6-sol |
| Reasoning effort | high |
xhigh |
| Budget ceiling | USD 10 | Host/account limit |
| Context | Independent Claude session | Fresh normal task in the current project |
| Continuation | Claude session ID | Archived task ID, temporarily unarchived for follow-ups |
| Filesystem boundary | Fixed read-only tools | Host permissions plus a read-only instruction |
| Local customizations | Disabled by Claude safe mode | Host configuration may still apply |
Compatibility
Codex Desktop app only; the sole host this Skill was developed
