Glueva

Some people believe using Codex CLI and Claude Code CLI together improves the quality of their work. I'm one of them.

Without a bridge, that means copying messages between two terminals. You become the relay, and each session can fall behind the other's context.

Glueva gives the two real, interactive sessions a local message channel. Both stay visible and usable, and the standalone executable fits your existing terminal setup without tmux or a separate Bun, Node, Python, or jq runtime.

curl -fsSL https://github.com/shadowofdoom/glueva/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

Testing status: Glueva has been tested under WSL2, native Windows x64, and macOS. The Windows Arm64 release has not been tested natively.

Open two terminals in the project you want to work on. Start Codex CLI first, then start Claude Code CLI in the second terminal:

# terminal 1
glueva codex

# terminal 2
glueva claude

After Claude registers, Glueva delivers one Codex-origin pairing check. Claude replies once, then both sessions show Glueva paired. Ready.

Supported commands

• glueva codex starts or resumes the Codex CLI session for the project.
• glueva claude starts or resumes the Claude Code CLI session for the project.
• glueva status [--json] reports pair health, watcher state, and unread mail; JSON remains caller-scoped for Claude plugin safety.
• glueva update updates the CLI and both plugins.
• glueva uninstall removes the CLI and plugins while preserving project data.
• glueva help prints full command syntax; glueva --version prints the version.

Launcher examples

Goal	Codex CLI	Claude Code CLI
Start a new session	glueva codex	glueva claude
Open the session picker	glueva codex --resume	glueva claude --resume
Continue the latest session	glueva codex --continue	glueva claude --continue
Start new without protections	glueva codex --yolo	glueva claude --yolo
Open the picker without protections	glueva codex --resume --yolo	glueva claude --resume --yolo
Continue latest without protections	glueva codex --continue --yolo	glueva claude --continue --yolo

Choose either --resume or --continue, never both. The --yolo flag can be combined with either session mode.

The installed plugins normally invoke the transport commands send, reply, ack, receive, wait, register, and hook; they remain available for manual inspection and troubleshooting.

Danger: --yolo disables Claude's permission checks and Codex's approval and sandbox protections. Use it only in a disposable, isolated environment you trust—never on unfamiliar code or where sensitive credentials are available.
