Summary
A Hacker News Show HN post describes Toli, a tool that lets Claude Code running on one computer work with Codex on a different computer. The post's author explains the problem began when a colleague hit a niche Windows kernel-related Python issue on his machine while the author's team owned the code. The two developers had to relay information between their coding agents, since one agent understood the codebase and the other had the context of the environment where the failure occurred. The author realized they were acting as the message bus between the two agents, which motivated the project.

What happened
A month or so ago, a colleague was running some code my team owned on his machine and hit a niche Windows kernel-related Python issue. We were debugging it together, but kept having to relay information between our coding agents, mine understood the codebase, while his had the context of the environment where it...
Why it matters
Developers who debug across machines with different environments may find a way to let coding agents share context directly instead of through manual copy-paste. Teams using Claude Code or Codex could be affected if this kind of cross-machine workflow proves practical. Readers may want to check the GitHub repository for how it connects the two agents, what setup it requires, and how it handles security and access between machines.
