Gas Town launches agents in tmux sessions and uses tmux-backed roles and windows for coordination.
Tools
Beads
Git-backed work-tracking system used by the agent factory.
Slack and email
External human-facing channels restricted to Fable agents.
Beads (bd)
Git-backed structured issue and dependency graph used as persistent memory for agents.
tmux shim layer
Gas Town communicates with agents through tmux and environment variables without importing agent libraries.
Git-backed hooks and worktrees
Hooks persist work state across restarts; Beads stores the durable work ledger.
Workflow
- 1Use Fable for design, planning and human-facing agents; use headless Sol and Opus fleets for implementation, reviews and monitoring.yegge.ai, 2026-08
- 2Run a large organization of agents, with only Fable communicating externally with humans.yegge.ai, 2026-08
- 3Turn clarifying questions, decisions and incident postmortems into recorded rulings and mechanically enforced rules.yegge.ai, 2026-08
- 4Track long-horizon work in structured Beads issues with explicit dependencies instead of Markdown TODOs.steveyegge.spicytakes.org, 2025-11
- 5Treat sessions as disposable while keeping work molecules and state durable in Git-backed storage.steveyegge.spicytakes.org, 2026-01
- 6Scale by assigning specialized roles such as Mayor, Polecats, Refinery, Witness, Deacon, and Dogs.github.com
Config
Public Claude Code entry point for Beads; directs agents to AGENTS.md and agent instructions and requires bd prime.
