Multi-agent coding orchestration toolkit. Successor to Steve Yegge’s viral “Gas Town” Medium post — the rebuild as a proper SDK with Yegge’s blessing.
Why This Matters
Directly adjacent to the multi-agent coding space. Yegge’s original Gas Town let devs coordinate 20–30 AI coding agents in parallel on the same codebase. Gas City is the productionized toolkit. Worth evaluating as a swarm orchestration approach.
Every’s framing: “a glimpse of the future that’s not (yet) ready for practical use.” So directional, not deployable — but the architectural pattern matters.
