⚙️ DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOWS

All major workflows converge on the same architectural pattern: Research → Plan → Execute → Review → Ship

🔀 CROSS-MODEL WORKFLOWS

Use Claude Code together with other models — Codex, Gemini, GPT, Kimi, DeepSeek, local — via three mechanisms:

- Plugin — another model's CLI runs inside Claude Code (slash commands like /codex:review)
- MCP — Claude Code calls another model as a tool through Model Context Protocol
- Router — Claude Code's API endpoint is swapped to a different provider

Methodology: Cross-Model (Claude Code + Codex) Workflow  — manual two-terminal flow with Plan in Claude, QA-Review in Codex.
