About overstory

jayminwest/overstory

Multi-agent orchestration for AI coding agents — pluggable runtime adapters for Claude Code, Pi, and more

Spawns isolated worker agents in git worktrees coordinated via SQLite-backed messaging, merging results through tiered conflict resolution. Supports 11+ pluggable runtimes (Claude Code, Pi, Gemini, Aider, Goose, Amp, etc.) via a unified `AgentRuntime` interface. Includes live TUI dashboards, per-agent inspection, token cost tracking, and explicit warnings about compounding error rates and debugging complexity in multi-agent swarms.
