A catalog of ChatGPT & Codex plugins, sorted by people.
Session Orchestrator vs codex-context-handoff
Two Memory & Context tools whose own descriptions overlap (shared terms: session, structured). Here's what each project says it does and the public numbers, side by side, so you can pick one in a minute instead of reading two READMEs.
| Session Orchestrator | codex-context-handoff | |
|---|---|---|
| What it says it does | Session orchestration for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor IDE — structured planning, wave-based execution, VCS integration (GitLab + GitHub), quality gates, and clean session close-out with issue tracking. | Replaces Codex's native auto-compact with a structured handoff document once a session hits a token threshold, so a fresh session can pick up the work; Codex plugin plus standalone installers. |

Who each one suits
Session Orchestrator, if…
- You use Codex or Claude Code or Cursor: the project's own description or install command targets it.
- You want something you install yourself; the install command doesn't point at a hosted endpoint.
- You need a permissive license (MIT) for work or commercial use.
- You want a project that's actively being worked on right now.

So which one?
We haven't run both, so we won't crown a winner. Use the list above to rule one out, then read its README and recent commits before installing. Anything that runs commands on your machine deserves a look at the code.
