OpenAI Codex helped us rapidly prototype and refine transformation logic directly inside the terminal — which mirrors how Clean Clode is actually used. We consider this and Claude Code to currently be the best and most widely CLI coding tools.
We used Claude Code to iterate on parsing rules and edge-case handling directly in the terminal environment Clean Clode is designed for. Together with OpenAI Codex CLI, we believe it represents the current state of the art in AI-powered CLI coding workflows
