Cross-model brainstorming
When one model gets stuck, ask it to package the problem for another model, then bring the second opinion back into the coding session.
When Claude Code struggles with a subtask after a few attempts, try a "second opinion" from another model:
- Ask Claude Code to summarize the situation: problem, what was tried, what failed.
- Say: "Give me a self-contained prompt I can paste into Gemini."
- Copy it into Gemini (or another AI), then paste the solution back.
Different models have different strengths. Combining them often gets you to a solution faster than pushing a single model repeatedly. The same trick works in reverse when a chatbot conversation gets stuck — summarize and hand it to Claude Code.
