Who it is forA developer with Claude Code and Codex open in the same project who wants both to work on one feature at once.
The problemEach client works in its own session, so details like an API request shape have to be copied between them by hand.
The outcomeEach session builds its own part, and the session that needs a detail asks the other one through ACC and gets the answer at its next turn.
What you need first
- macOS, Linux or Windows 10/11
- Node.js 24 or newer
- Claude Code and/or Codex installed on the same machine and operating-system user
- A project directory both clients can open
Steps
- Run
npm install -g agents-can-communicateto install ACC. - Run
acc install, follow its activation instructions, and review any required hook or plugin trust. - Restart Claude Code and Codex from the project directory.
- Ask Codex for the backend part, such as an account-registration endpoint, and ask Claude Code for the matching screen.
- When a session needs a shared detail, let it ask the other session through ACC, and check whether the question was delivered and answered.
Prompt for your agent
In the agents-can-communicate repo (https://github.com/automatis-tools/agents-can-communicate), install ACC and connect Claude Code and Codex in the project at <project-path>. Give each session one part of <feature-name> and report the answer from the session that needed a shared detail. Verify that the question sent between the two sessions shows as delivered and answered.
Caveat. The agents decide when to coordinate, and ACC does not guarantee they will notice every dependency.
