I’ve recently started using Claude Code Max pretty heavily to build internal tools for our company, and it’s been a huge boost to speed from idea → usable implementation. I still write code manually, but I’m now using Claude a lot more for code review, feature development, and iteration . So far I’ve mainly been using Opus as a single model, but I keep seeing people talk about multi-model workflows (planner/orchestrator/coder), and I’m curious if that can be done with Claude Code in practice. What I’m trying to achieve (if possible) I’m wondering if I can set up a workflow like this: Gemini → planning / breaking down the task (produce a structured plan) Opus → orchestration (follow the plan, decide next actions, run steps) MiniMax or GLM → write code / generate implementation drafts (cheaper coding model) I’m not sure if Claude Code supports this kind of multi-model routing natively, or if it requires building an external “router” or tool layer. My constraints / context I’m on Windows I’m a beginner with CLI I’ve barely configured Claude Code beyond the basics I mostly rely on built-in “skills” and simple workflows right now What I’m wondering Is this kind of multi-model setup possible with Claude Code today? If yes, is it native, or do I need an external orchestration layer? If it’s possible, what’s the simplest practical approach on Windows? Example: do I need a small local server / gateway that exposes “call_gemini / call_glm / call_minimax” as tools Claude can invoke? How would prompt invocation work? Would I be writing one “meta-prompt” that tells Opus to call Gemini for a plan first, then call the coding model for implementation? I recently discovered repomix (packaging repo context). Is integrating something like repomix beneficial in an agentic workflow, or does Claude Code already handle repository context well enough? If anyone has a recommended “starter” architecture (even a simple diagram or minimal setup steps), I’d really appreciate it. My goal is not to over-engineer, but to understand whether multi-model planning + orchestration + coding is realistically achievable with Claude Code, and how to set it up cleanly. submitted by /u/osiandtrix
