Codex
Core Facts
The API model identifier for GPT-6 Astra is gpt-6-astra.
Claude Code is an AI programming assistant launched by Anthropic.
OpenAI's Codex Agent platform focuses on a sandboxed code execution environment, where each task runs in an isolated container.
Timeline (last 90 days)
herdr does not wrap coding agents, it only manages their terminals, and supports many agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and OpenCode.
In herdr, the main Claude Code session can automatically hand mechanical work to Codex based on routing rules in CLAUDE.md, open a Codex pane, wait for its status without polling, and stop to ask the user when Codex hits an approval prompt.
Orca is a GUI-first ADE that can display Claude and Codex usage, rate limit reset times, supports worktree functionality, can fan out one prompt to multiple agents, and annotates AI-generated diffs line by line.
The creator mainly used Google's Antigravity as the development tool, while considering tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Lovable, and Casa to each have their own strengths.
Codex supports creating multiple WorkTrees under a single branch, enabling parallel collaboration with mutually isolated code.
Codex uses a streamlined vector retrieval mechanism, injecting only code snippets and metadata relevant to the current task rather than loading the entire codebase.
After Muse Spark was released, it quietly became a primary tool, and someone on Hacker News said it migrated 90% of their programming work away from Codex.
The author switches the run mode between standard and daybreak_blue via the command-line flag --cyber-access-program in the Codex build, and this flag does not appear in OpenAI's public documentation.
In Codex, a 'conversation' is equivalent to chatting with ChatGPT, while a 'project' corresponds to a folder on the computer, and projects should be used when files are involved.
In Codex, task queuing, task jumping the queue, and multi-task parallelism are three different concepts: queuing means directly sending a new message to line up after the current task, jumping the queue means using the guide button to skip the queue and inject into the current task, and multi-task parallelism means opening a new conversation.
