AI Agent Toolbox: Codex, Claude Code, Skills, Gateways, and Local Control
4 posts in this series
Use this series when you are choosing the tools around an AI coding agent rather than only the agent architecture itself. It collects concrete runtimes, local gateways, reusable skills, app wrappers, and control layers that make Codex, Claude Code, and similar agents easier to use in real projects.
Continuum: What to Check When Choosing an OpenAI-Compatible Agent Runtime
Use ShyftLabs Continuum as a lens for choosing an agent runtime: orchestration, model routing, memory, MCP tools, durable execution, observability, and deployment governance for teams moving agents from notebooks to production.

ADHD for Coding Agents: A Tree-of-Thought Style Parallel Reasoning Engine
ADHD is an open-source skill for Claude and Codex Agent SDKs that uses isolated branches and a separate critic pass to reduce premature convergence in coding agents. This guide explains how it differs from Chain-of-Thought and Tree-of-Thought, how frames work, when to use it, how to install it, and what it costs.
