The problem it solves

A coding agent reviewing its own output tends to approve weak changes. This setup pairs two different agents so each change gets an independent review pass, with a round limit that hands unresolved disagreements back to a human.

How it flows
  1. Assign author
  2. Assign reviewer
  3. Exchange review rounds
  4. Approve or escalate

Step-by-step setup

  1. Install the pairing tool

    Install the cc-pair command globally with npm so it is available in any repository you work in.

  2. Pick the authoring agent

    Start a pairing session and declare which agent authors the change, either Claude Code or Codex. The other agent automatically becomes the reviewer for that round.

  3. Run review rounds

    In auto mode the tool opens the author and launches the reviewer for each round without needing a second terminal. In manual mode you drive both agents yourself.

  4. Inspect the thread on disk

    The agents exchange numbered message files inside a shared per-repo directory, so you can read the full review history at any point.

  5. Set the escalation limit

    The loop ends when the reviewer approves. If the round limit is reached first (three by default), the disagreement escalates to you for a decision.
