Claudexor

Claudexor is an open-source agent harness and multi-agent orchestrator created by razzant. Built as a monorepo project, it provides an orchestration layer to coordinate, route, and execute coding workflows across multiple AI backends and tool interfaces. In day-to-day use, Claudexor operates via a CLI interface alongside companion integrations, including a dedicated macOS application and plugin ecosystems such as Copilot and Codex extensions. It handles runtime routing rules and configuration contracts through project-scoped configuration files (such as `.claudexor`), enabling developers to set automated routing goals and native code review boundaries across target models. What distinguishes Claudexor from single-agent tools is its orchestration-first architecture. It features explicit routing configurations, signed runtime manifests, multi-backend plugin interfaces, and automated review gates designed to evaluate and verify code changes across agent interactions. Claudexor is distributed as open-source software under an active release cycle on GitHub. It is suited for developers seeking structured routing and multi-plugin harness capabilities rather than a standalone, single-prompt coding assistant.

Key features

  • Multi-agent routing engine — Supports automated routing goals (routing_goal=auto) to delegate tasks between supported AI backends and execution boundaries. - CLI and native macOS interfaces — Provides terminal-based CLI tooling alongside a dedicated macOS native app footprint. - Plugin ecosystem support — Features integration manifests and plugins for environments including GitHub Copilot and Codex. - Configurable project boundaries — Uses .claudexor repository configuration files to enforce local execution, review waivers, and workflow rules. - Signed runtime manifests — Implements publication gates and signed runtime manifests for secure code generation and agent verification.

Use cases

Use Case: Orchestrated Multi-Agent Code Generation A developer sets up .claudexor project routing to direct specific task scopes—such as refactoring or review gates—to distinct backend models and plugins according to configured routing goals.

Use Case: Automated Native Review Gates A team configures Claudexor's review boundary contracts in their CI or local environment to ensure agent-generated diffs meet version-scoped review gates prior to release.

Use Case: Terminal and Native OS Agent Integration A macOS developer runs Claudexor CLI workflows coordinated with the native macOS app and editor plugin integrations for seamless local agent orchestration.

Who it is for

Claudexor is built for software engineers and systems developers who need an orchestration harness to manage multi-model routing, code review gates, and plugin integration. It is less suited for users seeking a simple, zero-configuration out-of-the-box single-turn chat tool.

Install guide

Installation Claudexor is maintained as a monorepo package on GitHub. Clone and build the repository from source (or install via your package manager if published): bash git clone https://github.com/razzant/claudexor.git cd claudexor # Install monorepo dependencies (standard Node/pnpm workflow) pnpm install pnpm build

First Run Initialize or verify your repository configuration file in .claudexor/: bash # Generate or inspect the base project configuration claudexor init Ensure appropriate environment variables and API keys are set for your chosen plugins (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI/Codex, or Copilot).

Example Session Run an orchestrated routing session against your project workspace: bash claudexor run --routing-goal=auto "Refactor the authentication middleware and run review checks"
