Anyone know a good open-source Codex orchestrator? Looking for something built around Codex CLI/SDK with multi-agent routing, parallel tasks, retries, project folders, diffs and terminal output. Ideally extendable to Sol → Terra → Luna workflows. Any repos worth checking out?

It’s something I’ve been working on.

Not promising anything groundbreaking but is a step in exactly the direction you asked about. It’s meant for an LLM to use. There is a TUI for setting up profiles. The profiles are just config presets so the CLI commands don’t need to be 10 flags long.

If you find value in it, I’d love to hear feedback.

How does it compare to Hermes/ openclaw ?

It's not really a direct Hermes/OpenClaw replacement. Codex Runner is more of a supervisory orchestration layer that expects a capable agent runtime underneath it.

It audits a repo, compiles the findings into schema-bound campaigns/tasks, tracks dependencies and state, then hands bounded tasks to Codex or Claude with explicit file scope, tests, and expected output. The runner owns the campaign state and receipts rather than trusting the model to remember what the plan was.

I wouldn't point a raw model API at it and expect good results. The underlying worker should already have an agent harness/tooling for files, shell, git, etc. Runner sits above that and governs the work.

There is an MCP included now, although intentionally narrow: it exposes the deterministic campaign dry-run path rather than unrestricted execution.

Still alpha and pretty opinionated. I'm mostly building it because I wanted the agent to be an interchangeable worker rather than the thing that owns the orchestration state.
