Token Saver lets Codex delegate coding work to cheaper Muse 1.3 to cut token burn
AIandDesign · x · 2026-09-22
A developer tired of fast-draining Codex tokens built Token Saver, which adds two skills and instructions to Codex so it delegates bounded tasks (bug investigation, feature implementation, repetitive edits, tests) to Meta's Muse 1.3—nearly as good as Sol on coding benchmarks but much cheaper—while Astra handles planning, decisions, review, and integration. Muse returns compact handoffs that Astra verifies against the code. On the $15 plan, the author says the token allowance is nearly impossible to exhaust.
