Orchestrating Codex multi-agent teams with context load charts and TOML roles
umeshonai · x · 2026-10-21
The author shares a hands-on practice for orchestrating multi-agent teams in OpenAI Codex: drawing a "context load chart" to precisely define each sub-agent/specialist's work profile, combined with proper TOML definitions and layered context/instruction file paths to keep agents focused and lightweight. The attached diagram shows the full flow from shared AGENTS.md and a PMC.md coordinator down to agent TOMLs, bounded work packages, and module rubrics.
