Building a Personal AI Factory

I'd love to see more specifics here, that is, how Claude and o3 talk to each other, an example session, etc.

I use Zen MCP and OpenRouter. Every once in awhile, my instance of claude code will "phone a friend" and use Gemini for a code review. Often unprompted, sometimes me asking for "analysis" or "ultrathink" about a thorny feature when I doubt the proposed implementation will work out or cause footguns.

It's wild to see in action when it's unprompted.

For planning, I usually do a trip out to Gemini to check our work, offer ideas, research, and ratings of completeness. The iterations seem to be helpful, at least to me.

Everyone in these sorta threads asks for "proofs" and I don't really know what to offer. It's like 4 cents for a second opinion on what claude's planning has cooked up, and the detailed response has been interesting.

I loaded 10 bucks onto OpenRouter last month and I think I've pulled it down by like 50 cents. Meanwhile I'm on Claude Max @ $200/mo and GPT Plus for another $20. The OpenRouter stuff seems like less than couch change.

$0.02 :D

It’s not about proof: it’s that at this point I’m a fairly heavy Claude Code user and I’d like to up my game, but I’m also not so up on many of these details that I can just figure out how to give this a try just from the description of it. I’m already doing plan-up-front workflows with just Claude, but haven’t figured out some of this more advanced stuff.

I have two MCPs installed (playwright and context7) but it never seems like Claude decides to reach for them on its own.

I definitely appreciate why you’re not posting code, as you said in another comment.

Not even when you add ‘memories’ that tell it to always use those tools in certain situations?

My admonitions to always run repomix at the start of coding, and always run the build command before crying victory seem to be followed pretty well anyway.

What do you tell Claude to do with repomix? Get an overview into the context?
