The bridge between AI planners
and coding executors.
Open-source bridge. Local-first execution. Durable run record across any planner and any executor.
v0.2.0-beta · Apache 2.0 · ★ 2 · CI green · last release 2 days ago
Bridge, not brain. State, not chat.
Codencer is an open-source orchestration bridge that lets any AI planner — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, a human lead — dispatch real work to any AI coding executor — Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity, OpenClaw, Qwen — and produces a durable, auditable record of what happened.
We are not a coding agent. We do not run inference. We do not host the LLM. We sit between the planner and the executor as state, contract, and audit trail. Planning stays where it works best. Execution stays near the code. Codencer holds the part that doesn't exist anywhere else: the durable record across a heterogeneous fleet.
The neutral cross-vendor bridge
is still missing.
Vendors are deepening their own stacks — ChatGPT to Codex, Claude Desktop to Claude Code, Cursor to Cursor. Codencer is the bridge across all of them.
| Product | Planner | Executor | Cross-vendor | Durable record | Local exec | Self-host |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Vendors are deepening their own stacks. The neutral cross-vendor bridge is still missing.
Three roles. Two contracts. One record.
01
Plan in any chat
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, a human lead. The planner sends a structured TaskSpec to Codencer.
02
Local executor runs
Codencer dispatches the step to Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity, Qwen, or OpenClaw. Code stays on your machine.
03
Validations + gates close the run
Artifacts captured, validations run, gates evaluated, ResultSpec returned. The planner reads the result.

Three ways to start.
01
Install the OSS
v0.2.0-beta is public on GitHub. Apache 2.0. Self-host on any platform.
02
The hosted version
Self-host today. A hosted Codencer launches July 2026 — one email when it opens, nothing before, nothing after.
03
Read the docs
5,200+ lines covering every executor adapter, the state model, and the truth model.
