# Codex and Claude collaboration

## Operating model

One agent writes; the other reviews. Roles can rotate between tasks, but ownership cannot be ambiguous within a task.

## Handoff format

```markdown
Task: TASK-###
Role completed: implementer | reviewer
Commit/diff: <identifier>
Writable scope used: <paths>
Acceptance criteria status: <list>
Checks run: <commands and outcomes>
Open findings: <P0-P3 list>
Known limitations: <list>
Next owner/action: <one concrete action>
```

## Conflict handling

1. Product requirements and human decisions win.
2. `AGENTS.md` wins over agent-specific files.
3. Task acceptance criteria win over implementation preference.
4. Automated evidence wins over an unsupported assertion.
5. Security-sensitive ambiguity is escalated to the human owner.

## Review independence

The reviewer must inspect the actual diff and tests. Do not provide the implementer's reasoning as a substitute for evidence; it can anchor the reviewer and hide alternative failure modes.

## Parallel development

Parallel implementation uses separate worktrees, exclusive writable paths, and cross-review. The current ownership map and delivery waves are recorded in `docs/workstreams.md`.
