What the research found

A Reddit user runs Claude Code and Codex on the same repos, sharing AGENTS.md (imported by CLAUDE.md) and a shared memory, and asks how to prevent concurrent writes to the same files, with worktrees suggested as an option.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

  1. AGENTS.md is the shared instructions file and CLAUDE.md imports it 98%
  2. Claude Code and Codex share a memory that agents read at task start and write at task end 98%
  3. Concurrent edits to the same files by both agents remain an unsolved problem for the poster 96%

Evidence

Actionability rated medium.
