Botference – A TUI to Plan with Claude Code and Codex Simultaneously

Hacker News

I vibe-hacked a terminal app that puts you, Claude Code, and Codex in the same chat room for project planning. Two modes: “council” (open room — you steer the conversation, direct who speaks) and “caucus” (the AIs debate privately and bring you a recommendation). The output is an implementation-plan.md you take into whatever workflow you want. Plan mode is the part that works. Build mode exists but is experimental and I wouldn’t recommend it yet. It’s vibe-coded, uses Textual or Ink for the TUI, and works with subscription accounts (Claude Max, OpenAI Plus) so no API keys required. https://github.com/angadhn/botference
