Agentic Orchestration Control is an explicit-only npm control room for Codex orchestration. The global npm package installs the Codex skill into ~/.codex/skills, and the aoc CLI manages local run ledgers, usage reports, Codex session import, and TUI/GUI views.

Install the published package globally. This installs both the aoc CLI and the Codex skill at ~/.codex/skills/agent-orchestration-skill:

npm install -g agentic-orchestration-control

Open the control room:

aoc
aoc gui

Start an observable run:

aoc init "Fix checkout flow"

Use the skill only when you want the orchestration workflow:

Use $agent-orchestration-skill for this task.

Prompts without the exact literal $agent-orchestration-skill should run in normal Codex mode.

aoc
aoc gui
aoc init "Fix checkout flow"
aoc sessions
aoc import
aoc current
aoc use <run_id>
aoc search "checkout"
aoc usage
aoc budget 12000
aoc doctor

aoc resolves the repo from --repo, AOC_REPO, the nearest git root, or the current directory when it looks like a project. It resolves the run from --run-id, AOC_RUN_ID, .orchestration/current-run, .orchestration/current.json, or the latest .orchestration/runs/* state, including imported Codex sessions.

aoc and aoc gui should open even before aoc init. In an empty repo they show an empty state and any discoverable Codex sessions. Use aoc import to import local Codex rollout logs into .orchestration/runs/ without creating a native AOC run first.

An AOC run is a local orchestration ledger created by aoc init "task". It stores state, events, dispatches, handoffs, evidence, gates, memory, and usage under .orchestration/runs/<run_id>/.

An imported Codex session comes from local Codex rollout JSONL files under AOC_CODEX_HOME, CODEX_HOME, ~/.codex, or another configured Codex home. Imported sessions are normalized into .orchestration/runs/codex-*/ with source metadata so the TUI, GUI, sessions list, usage, and search commands can display them beside native AOC runs.

The globally installed skill is explicit-only. The root Codex thread remains the orchestrator, and spawned workers are leaf-only. The package provides subagent profiles and validators, but it does not make model calls by itself.

Global skill layout:

~/.codex/skills/agent-orchestration-skill/

Optional repo-local install layout from aoc install .:

skills/agent-orchestration-skill/
subagents/
.orchestration/bin/aoc
AGENTS.md

Use the terminal control room for quick status:

aoc
aoc sessions
aoc current

Use the local web GUI for a browser view:

aoc gui
aoc gui --once

The GUI binds to localhost by default. Remote binding requires explicit opt-in and auth:

AOC_GUI_TOKEN="change-me" aoc gui --host 0.0.0.0 --allow-remote --auth-token "$AOC_GUI_TOKEN"

Usage reports separate imported or recorded real token data from local estimated orchestration pressure:

aoc usage
aoc budget 12000

Estimated pressure is not provider billing. Treat it as a local signal for prompt size, fan-out, and validation cost.

Import local Codex sessions:

aoc import

Use a fake or alternate Codex home when testing:

AOC_CODEX_HOME=/tmp/fake-codex aoc import --json

List and inspect imported sessions:

aoc sessions
aoc use <run_id>
aoc search "checkout"

• The skill activates only on the exact literal $agent-orchestration-skill.
• Runtime state stays in .orchestration/.
• Hidden .skills, .agents, and .codex package payloads are rejected.
• The GUI is localhost-only unless --allow-remote and an auth token are provided.
• Imported Codex sessions are local files; review .orchestration/ before sharing or committing it.

If aoc is not on PATH, use the installed repo shim:

./.orchestration/bin/aoc

If no sessions appear, run:

aoc import --json
aoc sessions --json

If the wrong repo or run is selected, be explicit:

aoc --repo .
aoc use <run_id>

npm install
npm test
npm run test:npm-cli
npm run publish:check
npm pack --dry-run
npm run validate:production
