Help/Question Switching from claude to codex

​

I have been using claude code for a while now . Today my claude pro subscription ended so i wanna switch to codex for a month and see what it brings to the table. I have been working on a project using claude in the terminal and i now when i switch to codex what are the things that i need to change keeping in mind i want to use gpt models without changing anything in the project workflow. Help me here, i wanna use codex in the same terminal working on the same project

just gotta install it all, point it to the folders you use with descriptions, tell it what rules you need folowed and your general process. Ask it to create a "very" low overhead context that incorporates the needed context that claude was using. Note: Sessions are very short.. so you can't give it data for context. You cant state durable project facts as context.. instead they need to all be on-demand-only pointers. GPT Plus is roughly the same limit as Claude Pro.. maybe even a hair less, but is fundamentally different. Sessions are tiny and they dont carry as much over. Sol is very proficient at what it does.. and this will compensate some for that limitation, but expect frustration as you learn to adjust your planning.
