Gas Town is a multi-agent orchestration system for Claude Code that enables parallel AI workers to execute tasks simultaneously. It provides work tracking through beads, agent lifecycle management via polecats and crew, and automated code merging through the Refinery.
Prerequisites
Go 1.21+ installed for CLI tools (gt and bd)
Git configured with SSH or HTTPS access
Terminal access for running commands
Sufficient disk space for workspace (~100MB for ~/gt)
GitHub account for repository integration (optional)
Instructions
Install Gas Town CLI tools (gt and bd) using Go
Create your workshop directory at ~/gt
Run diagnostics with gt doctor and bd doctor
Add a project as a rig using gt rig add
Create work items as beads using bd create
Sling work to agents using gt sling
Monitor progress with gt status and gt peek
Let the Refinery merge completed work
The Cognition Engine. Track work with convoys; sling to agents.
Output
Executed gt and bd commands with results reported to user
Engine status reports showing system health and worker states
Work tracking updates (beads created, assigned, completed)
Polecat and crew lifecycle events (spawn, completion, termination)
Diagnostic results from gt doctor and bd doctor
Merge pipeline status from Refinery operations
