overstory and claive

These two tools are competitors, as both aim to provide multi-agent orchestration specifically for AI coding agents, with "Overstory" offering a pluggable runtime for various models like Claude Code and Pi, while "Claive" is a self-owned orchestrator focusing solely on Claude Code using tmux, Python, and Bash.

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.
