Codex Orchestrator

Codex Orchestrator (CO) is a CLI and runtime for Codex-driven pipelines, auditable manifests, delegation workflows, and downstream repo bootstrapping.

Release Posture

This README tracks the current main branch. Published-package users should follow the README and docs for the tag or release they installed.

• Latest package docs: GitHub releases
• Older v0.2.0 package docs: README for v0.2.0
• Detailed source-head docs: docs/book/README.md

Install

npm i -g @kbediako/codex-orchestrator
codex-orchestrator --version

Node.js >=20 is required. npm remains the supported baseline install path.

Current Posture

• Current CO-local Codex CLI 0.125.0 ChatGPT-auth/appserver posture
• Current model posture: gpt-5.5 / xhigh when available in ChatGPT-auth Codex sessions
• Portable packaged/generated defaults keep gpt-5.4 / xhigh as fallback values when gpt-5.5, API, or cloud portability is unavailable
• Local default runtime: appserver
• Unsupported combination: executionMode=cloud with explicit runtimeMode=appserver

The full version and model policy lives in docs/guides/codex-version-policy.md.

Quickstart

codex-orchestrator init codex --cwd /path/to/repo
cd /path/to/repo
codex-orchestrator setup --yes --repo /path/to/repo
codex login
codex-orchestrator flow --task <task-id>
codex-orchestrator doctor --format json

Use codex login --device-auth when browser login is not available.

Plugin Install

The npm CLI install is the baseline. Codex plugin marketplace setup is additive for Codex releases that expose plugin flows. Current Codex CLI 0.125.0 keeps marketplace management under codex plugin marketplace ...:

# Codex 0.121.0 accepts either command.
codex marketplace add "$(npm root -g)/@kbediako/codex-orchestrator"

# Codex 0.122.0+ uses the plugin command.
codex plugin marketplace add "$(npm root -g)/@kbediako/codex-orchestrator"

For local checkout installs, pass the repository root instead of the npm install directory. For Git-backed installs, pass owner/repo[@ref], an HTTPS Git URL, or an SSH Git URL. Use codex plugin marketplace upgrade codex-orchestrator to refresh a Git-backed marketplace checkout and codex plugin marketplace remove codex-orchestrator to remove the marketplace registration. Then open /plugins in Codex, install Codex Orchestrator, and restart Codex if the plugin is not picked up immediately. More local checkout, Git-backed, and rollback details are in docs/book/setup.md.

Common Commands

codex-orchestrator flow --task <task-id>
codex-orchestrator start diagnostics --task <task-id> --format json
