Codex Orchestration
A local Codex plugin assigns coding roles to different models, with optional plan review and authenticated cloud routes for Claude and Kimi K3.
Codex Orchestration is a plugin for developers who want different models to plan, review, design and implement a coding task. It runs locally, but its Claude and Kimi K3 routes require authentication and send task content to cloud services.
- Plan review: An optional Planner develops the approach, while an optional Advisor reviews it through revisions using a different model route; implementation stops if review doesn't reach approval.
- Design handoffs: An optional Designer prepares visual, UX, interaction or design-system work, with edits limited to design artifacts that Codex explicitly delegates.
- Parallel implementation: Executors carry out the approved plan and can handle independent tasks in parallel, with the selected Codex model coordinating work and checking results.
- Saved workflows: Role assignments can guide Codex Goals while Codex retains responsibility for permissions, integration and verification.
Claude Fable 5 and Claude Opus 5 can serve only as Planner or Advisor through the official Claude Code CLI and a compatible first-party Claude login. Kimi K3 can take the Designer role through OpenRouter, whose calls can incur charges. External roles don't replace the selected Codex model or appear in its model picker.
The plugin is open source under the MIT license. External API keys stay in the operating system's credential store rather than project files or logs. The Claude bridge disables tools, file edits and session persistence.
