Documents the Universal Gas Town Propulsion Principle - the single rule that drives all agent behavior: "If you find something on your hook, YOU RUN IT." Covers: - The One Rule (hook has work → work happens) - Why it works (stateless agents, molecule-driven) - The sling lifecycle diagram - Agent startup protocol - Examples and anti-patterns 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Gas Town
Multi-agent workspace manager for AI coding agents.
Gas Town coordinates swarms of AI agents working on software projects. Workers (polecats) implement features and fix bugs. Refineries review and merge code. Witnesses manage worker lifecycles. Mayors coordinate across projects.
Install
go install github.com/steveyegge/gastown/cmd/gt@latest
Quick Start
# Create a town (workspace)
gt install ~/gt
# Add a project rig
gt rig add myproject --remote=https://github.com/you/myproject.git
# Spawn a worker on an issue
gt spawn --issue myproject-123
Architecture
Town (~/gt/)
├── Mayor (global coordinator)
└── Rig: myproject
├── Witness (lifecycle manager)
├── Refinery (merge queue)
└── Polecats (workers)
Key Concepts
- Molecules: Structured workflow templates with quality gates and dependencies
- Beads: Unified data plane for issues, messages, and state (github.com/steveyegge/beads)
- Nondeterministic Idempotence: Workflows survive crashes and agent restarts
