Original: Steal my prompt to turn Codex into an Orchestration Manager
Short summary
Use Claude as an Orchestration Manager to coordinate coding work across multiple worker threads. One manager thread breaks tasks, assigns goals, runs heartbeat checks, handles feedback, and coordinates handoffs—shifting project management burden to the agent. This three-layer system prevents the handoff failures where most agent workflows break down.
- •Deploy Claude as a single orchestration manager coordinating multiple worker threads on coding tasks
- •Manager thread handles planning, scheduling, progress tracking, PR reviews, and follow-ups automatically
- •Moves handoff coordination and project management from human to agent, preventing workflow breakdowns
