Your comments about GPT5.2 Pro and Codex match my experience as well. It's like Harrison Bergeron trying to dance. My own setup today is Actor-Critic: 5.2 Plan - > Opus 4.5 execute -> 5.2 checks and approves commits. It works, but the tokens go burrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
One other thing - Claude's OCR is awful. Anything image-related, I have a pretool/hook & /skill combo that pipes out Gemini. Lighter than loading up an MCP.
Nathan, could you please explain how you configure / accomplish this: "I often have Claude Code pass information back to GPT 5 Pro for a deep search when stuck with a very detailed prompt"?

Really well said. The power of Gas Town and Ralph Wiggum is the future, but these incredible capabilities also need to be made reliable and governable. Wrote about that here: https://securetrajectories.substack.com/p/gas-town-agent-control-citadel

I ask Claude to summarize the situation for deeper search, then I tell GPT to write a plan for Claude — so I do it very literally.
