Claude Code
Reads your spec and turns it into one clear task.
Install the loop once. Claude Code gets a direct, repeatable path to GPT-6 Astra for real software work. Claude defines the task, Astra handles the delegated work, and Claude checks the result against your repository.
The package includes the bridge, the /astra command, a queue, verification, a green gate, tests, and a live model probe. Every part runs inside the project you choose.
THE CONNECTION IS LIVE
Claude orchestrates. Astra executes.
Run one check. The loop calls GPT-6 Astra and waits for a known response.

Before you install
Get these four pieces in place
The kit is free. Your Claude and OpenAI access are separate and stay under your own accounts.
Git repository
Run the installer from the root of the project you want Claude and Astra to work on.
Node.js 20+
The bridge and verification scripts run locally with Node.
Claude Code
Claude is the orchestrator and exposes the /astra slash command after install.
Codex CLI + Astra access
Codex must be installed, signed in, and able to use gpt-6-astra on your account.
OpenAI lists the model ID as gpt-6-astra and documents non-interactive Codex CLI scripting with codex exec. Availability can vary by account and rollout.
Step 1
Install the loop into your repository
Open Terminal in the target repository, then run this exact command.

WHAT ARRIVES
.claude/commands/astra.mdThe slash command Claude uses to launch a bounded handoff.
scripts/loop/astra.mjsThe bridge that pins Astra and sets the allowed write scope.
scripts/loop/verify.mjsThe local check that confirms the kit is complete and configured.
scripts/loop/run-next.mjsThe queue runner for repeatable, auditable jobs.
Step 2
Prove that Astra is responding
Check the installation first. Then make a real, read-only call with Astra pinned.

Step 3
Open Claude Code and run /astra
Claude receives one reusable command with three explicit delegation modes.
BUILDworkspace write
Implement a bounded task
Astra can edit files inside the repository. Claude reviews the handback and runs the project gates.
/astra build Add the approved API validationREVIEWread only
Inspect a diff or approach
Astra analyzes the supplied scope without writing to the workspace.
/astra review Check this diff for auth regressionsPLANread only
Produce an implementation plan
Astra studies the repository and returns a plan for Claude to judge before work begins.
/astra plan Map the migration in five bounded steps The operating loop
Claude stays in charge from spec to ship
Every delegated task keeps its scope, proof, and shipping gates attached.
01 / SPECClaude frames the job
Objective, constraints, acceptance checks, and allowed scope.
02 / HANDOFFThe bridge starts Codex
Mode and model are explicit in the command.
03 / WORKAstra returns the result
Edits, findings, or a plan come back through a recorded process.
04 / INSPECTClaude checks the handback
The orchestrator compares the result with the original job.
05 / GATETests decide what ships
Repository evidence makes the final shipping decision.
What to delegate
Use one loop across the whole build
Claude can call Astra for implementation, independent review, and planning whenever the job needs another strong model.
Ship a defined feature
Give Astra the approved scope and let it implement inside the repository.
/astra buildClear a failing gate
Send the error, the affected files, and the acceptance check back through the loop.
/astra buildGet an independent code review
Ask Astra to inspect a risky diff while the workspace stays read-only.
/astra reviewMap a migration first
Let Astra study the repository and return a bounded plan before edits begin.
