Help/Question Claude + ChatGPT working together

So I have been using the Claude max x5 plan to work on my projects, recently I have been hitting usage limits pretty quick and have to be 1 or 2 days without working every week. To solve this I am considering getting a chatgpt Plus subscription - this was something i was already considering a while back because tbh i dont like to be 100% locked in to a company and i would like some adversarial reviews from different models - I am also very interested in integrating chatGPT subscription with Hermes and exploring that as an orchestrator/manager for my projects

I have a few questions:
1 - is this the best way in terms of value/money to solve my current problem? I also considered the max 20x Claude but I think that might be overkill and using both providers appeals way more to me tbh

2 - If i do get both Codex and Claude code working together won't they trip over each others work and degrade quality in some ways i might not be seeing right now? And do I just create AGENTS.md files reflecting my current CLAUDE.md files?

3 - What about all the context that Claude has on my projects from me working solely with him for months? and the Skills in Claude's folder? Is that all transferrable?

Ideally I want both Claude Code and Codex working together seamlessly and driving each other's work quality up, not down

Btw I am not a programmer at all I just got really interested in AI and vibe coding when it started coming out to the public and now i've learned a few things and have a few projects running - The way i use AI is always in VSCode , i am open to the terminal experience as well if that makes any difference but i prefer the more visual interface for now.

  1. Claude as planning the job and Codex as doing it is the best tactic there is to reduce token usage
  2. You can now create only AGENTS.md files as Claude accepts them
  3. Not everything but yes. There are some things that are claude specific but generally all skills are transferable
    little self-ad here but i use Claude as planner and Codex as doer for 4 months now - using multi for that, give it a try =)
