What they did

A creator ran an autonomous science workflow in Claude Code for three days straight, with Codex driving it and checking the evidence each round. The loop is open source on GitHub.

Result (as claimed)

Three days of continuous work; the post credits @curiouswavefn.

Tools they used

Cost: Claude Code: from $17/mo; OpenAI Codex: free plan, paid from $8/mo.

Set it up

  1. Gather your sources

    Collect the papers, notes, links or files you want to work from in one place.

  2. Load them into the tool

    Open Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and add your sources. Keep the original files so you can check claims later.

  3. Ask focused questions

    Ask for summaries, comparisons or connections with citations to the source passages.

  4. Verify and save

    Spot check claims against the sources, then save the output as notes you can reuse.

Copy the full setup prompt

Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

You are helping me set up this AI use case end to end in Claude Code.

Goal: Run an autonomous science loop in Claude Code for three days with Codex checking the evidence
What the original author did: A creator ran an autonomous science workflow in Claude Code for three days straight, with Codex driving it and checking the evidence each round. The loop is open source on GitHub.

Tools they used: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex
Category: Research & learning

Please:
1. Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like).
2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure.
3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data.
4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.
