Codex-Bridge Plugin Routes Image Generation Through ChatGPT Plan Inside Claude Code
An open-source plugin called codex-bridge (MIT licensed) allows Claude Code users to generate images and run GPT-5 subagents by leveraging an existing Codex CLI login, billing costs to a ChatGPT plan rather than requiring a separate API key. The tool uses two bash wrappers that call Codex CLI's non-interactive mode, keeping intermediate output out of the Claude context to reduce token costs. Image generation via gpt-image-2 can take one to four minutes per task and consumes ChatGPT quota roughly three to five times faster than text tasks. The plugin is currently limited to macOS and Linux, and all task text is forwarded to OpenAI's servers, which may conflict with certain organizational data policies. It is best suited for users who already subscribe to a ChatGPT plan, use Claude Code regularly, and need to handle bulk image generation or high-volume mechanical edits.
