Gas Town is a sophisticated multi-agent workspace manager designed to orchestrate and coordinate numerous Claude Code agents working on diverse tasks within a shared development environment. It tackles the common challenge where individual AI agents lose context on restart by persisting work state using git-backed hooks, enabling reliable and resumable multi-agent workflows that scale comfortably beyond just a handful of concurrent agents. The system introduces concepts like The Mayor (the primary coordinator agent), Rigs (project containers), Crew Members (developer workspaces), and Polecats (ephemeral worker agents), organizing work into structured convoys and beads that can be tracked through command-line interfaces. By integrating with tools like tmux and supporting git worktrees, Gastown enables interactive sessions where agents and humans collaborate fluidly, with tracked progress, handoffs, and historical records.
