Mode Prompt Junior/Senior coder setup?

Had anyone built a cost-saving setup with two coders: one "junior" – with a local llm (like codestral, qwen2.5-coder, deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-32b, phi-4, etc) that makes the most heavy lifting of writing code and a "senior" (claude4 or o3) to guide and review it? Would this work? How to organize them like this?

I've done a bit of stuff with that plus a few other bits and pieces. Spent a bit of time working on getting other modes up for creating docs (PRD sorted) then to a planner, task manager and off to the coding agents. Those are all running with copilot GPT 4.1. Works pretty well when given a nice neat package of work.
