How it works
Three layers, plainly. Augment your agent with no key, orchestrate a governed SDLC on your own keys, and keep both on a shared platform that survives every session.
01 · Augment · no key
Helixor Code runs as an MCP server. When your agent needs to find or understand code, it queries the structural Code Index — not grep — and reads and writes stateful TODOs. No key, because the agent supplies the model.
02 · Orchestrate · BYOK
For nontrivial or regulated work, Helixor Code drives a workflow from the catalog and routes each step to the right model on your key — Claude triages, a human approves, Codex implements, evidence at every gate.
03 · The shared platform
Indexes and TODO stacks live server-side, so they persist across sessions and machines and can be shared with permissions. Built on the Helixor engine — works with any LLM, or without one.
The hero pipeline
sdlc.safe_change_delivery.v1 — checkpointed · retryable 3× · resumable · artifact per step
Different models for different jobs; a human at the gate; evidence at every step. Retry an individual step up to three times, or resume the whole run from its last checkpoint.
Cross-agent workspace channels
Claude and Codex sessions post context, pin durable decisions, and hand off — across agents and sessions, auditable. This is what makes "multi-LLM" real: the handoff and the shared memory are first-class.
workspace.get
workspace.act // post · pin · hand off
execution_target
Choose where each pipeline runs. Every model call in the pipeline runs on your key — this is why BYOK exists: one governed pipeline across Claude, Codex, and more, on your own keys and rates.
Workflows are authored and type-checked at design time — no dynamic step generation. We state this plainly, because this audience rewards the candor.
The menu-bar companion
Run helixor up and a lightweight companion appears in the macOS menu bar — no window to manage, just a status icon that keeps your local setup honest. Its job is to make the invisible visible: whether the companion is running, healthy, or busy, which MCP transport it's using, and whether it's wired to a trial/cloud or enterprise runtime — before you dispatch an agent.
Because the companion scans your indexes locally and serves structural context instead of whole-repo dumps, the tray turns token savings from a claim into a running meter. It stays deliberately thin — it talks to the local companion for machine status and points to the hosted platform for everything else.
