About
Arbitrage is a Claude Code skill that optimizes AI token usage by routing expensive frontier-model tokens only to judgment tasks (planning, architecture, review) while dispatching all code-writing to the cheaper Codex agent running in the background. It includes a visual validation loop for frontend work and an escape hatch that falls back to the premium model after two failed Codex attempts. Think of it as cost-aware orchestration for agentic coding workflows.
What it can do
Route coding tasks to a cheaper AI model based on task type
A coding request or task description → Task dispatched to Codex for implementation or frontier model for judgment work
Generate code implementation using a background Codex agent
Code-writing task or feature specification → Completed code written by Codex at reduced token cost
Perform high-judgment tasks using the premium frontier model
Planning request, architecture decision, or diff review task → Plan, architecture spec, or reviewed diff produced by the premium model
Visually validate frontend UI output
Frontend code or UI component generated by Codex → Visual validation result confirming or rejecting the UI rendering
Automatically fall back to the premium model after repeated Codex failures
Two consecutive failed Codex implementation attempts → Task re-executed by the premium frontier model as an escape hatch
Orchestrate multi-agent agentic coding workflows
A complex coding workflow with multiple subtasks → Coordinated task execution split across Codex and frontier model based on cost and complexity
Reduce AI token costs for coding projects
A software development task → Completed task using minimized frontier-model token consumption
Why it made the leaderboard
Claude Code skill that keeps expensive frontier-model tokens for judgment work (planning, architecture, review) and dispatches all code-writing to cheaper background Codex — with a visual validation loop for frontend changes.
