TaskChef

TaskChef enhances Codex desktop by providing a central conversation hub for delegating tasks across multiple projects. Key features include: • Centralized task delegation from a single chat • Dashboard for monitoring parallel tasks • Identification of tasks requiring user input • Usage tracking and cost estimation for each task • Model selection based on task role This plugin streamlines project management by allowing users to delegate work efficiently and keep all tasks in view. The intuitive dashboard displays task statuses—working, finished, or awaiting input—enabling quick identification of priorities. Users can seamlessly return to the original conversation for context, answer questions, or continue work directly within Codex's native environment. TaskChef offers both a detailed dashboard and a compact list view, allowing users to filter tasks by status for focused attention. It provides granular insights into each task, including activity timelines, duration, token usage, and estimated costs, ensuring transparency and control over resources. TaskChef is free and open source, making it an accessible tool for developers and project managers aiming to optimize their workflow and focus on moving projects forward with less administrative overhead.
