Kingbootoshi Codex Orchestrator
kingbootoshi-codex-orchestrator is a Claude Code plugin for the Build phase that spawns and manages OpenAI Codex agents in tmux sessions so Claude can delegate, monitor, and collect parallel coding results.
by kingbootoshi · github.com/kingbootoshi/codex-orchestrator
Let Claude Code spawn and monitor OpenAI Codex workers in parallel tmux sessions when one agent cannot finish the codebase alone.

What it does
kingbootoshi-codex-orchestrator is a Claude Code plugin built to delegate work to OpenAI Codex agents running in tmux sessions while Claude remains the orchestrator. Solo builders hitting throughput limits on large refactors, test fixes, or multi-file features can spawn parallel Codex workers, monitor progress, send follow-ups, and capture results without manually babysitting separate terminal panes. The README and keyword list (agents, claude, codex, delegation, orchestrate, parallel, sessions, tmux, monitor, results) describe a systems-integration style plugin rather than a brainstorming methodology skill. Expect intermediate complexity: you need tmux, working Codex CLI auth, and comfort reading session output. It pairs naturally with ship-phase review when you want Codex to implement and Claude to integrate or gate merges. This is multi-agent dev infrastructure, not a marketing or analytics tool—install when Claude Code is your control plane and Codex is your secondary implementer pool.
Highlights
- Delegates tasks to OpenAI Codex agents through tmux sessions
- Designed explicitly for Claude Code orchestration over Codex workers
- Supports parallel spawn, monitor, capture messages, follow-up, and results aggregation
- Single-plugin bundle; kingbootoshi/codex-orchestrator with ~263 GitHub stars
- Keyword surface spans orchestration, sessions, delegation, progress, and claude↔codex handoff
Why builders use it
One Claude Code session cannot efficiently run several long Codex jobs in parallel or track their output without brittle manual terminal juggling.
After registration, Claude Code can orchestrate multiple Codex tmux sessions with delegation, monitoring, follow-ups, and captured results in one workflow.
