What is Codex on Crack?

Codex on Crack, formerly Astra Flash Orchestrator, is an open-source (MIT) set of Codex skills and a panel for coordinating several AI models on one coding task. Your Codex model keeps the conversation, agrees the plan with you, delegates implementation and checks to other configured models or CLIs, then brings the work back for review. The original Astra and DeepSeek Flash workflow is still available through an OpenCode installer. The project describes itself as a preview release.

Pros: what Codex on Crack does well

  • Separates planning and review from implementation
  • Works with the models and CLIs you already use

Cons: where it falls short

  • Preview release
  • Delegating to other providers can add separate model costs
