How xSquad Works: Orchestrate Claude Code, Codex, and Coding Agents in 24 Hours
No new tools. No complex integrations. Just a meta agent harness that orchestrates your coding agents into a coordinated swarm that shows up and starts working.
xSquad: The Meta Agent Harness for Your Coding Agents
We designed xSquad as a meta agent harness that orchestrates Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents into your existing development workflow:
No platform migrations. No learning curve. No disruption.
