Short answers about coding agents
Quick answers to questions we hear from people setting up Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Zoltbot. Each one starts with the answer.
Can I use my Claude subscription with multiple coding agents?
Yes for Claude Code: every Claude Code session you start, in as many terminals or worktrees as you like, runs on the same Claude Pro, Max or Ultra plan and shares its usage limits. Other vendors' agents need their own plan, so Codex uses a ChatGPT plan or OpenAI API key, and Cursor bills Claude models at API list price outside its plans.
ReadCan I use my ChatGPT plan with the Codex CLI?
Yes. Run codex, choose Sign in with ChatGPT, and the CLI uses your plan's Codex allowance; the CLI is included from ChatGPT Plus at $20 a month. You can sign in with an OpenAI API key instead, which bills at API rates and leaves out Codex's cloud features.
ReadCan Claude Code and Codex work on the same repo at the same time?
Yes, as long as they don't share a checkout: give each agent its own git worktree and branch, and merge one branch at a time. Without worktrees, run them one after the other. Zoltbot can do either: it gives a task its own worktree, or queues tasks that share a folder.
ReadWill I lose my chats if I stop using Zoltbot?
No: each tool's own session store holds the conversation, and Zoltbot keeps only an index that points to it. If you stop using Zoltbot, the conversations are still where Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity keep them.
