## What it is
Gas Town is a multi-agent workspace manager that orchestrates AI coding agents like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, and Gemini across multiple projects. It persists agent work state in git-backed hooks and provides coordination primitives like mailboxes, identities, and handoffs so large fleets of agents can work reliably.

## Use cases
- coordinate multiple AI coding agents on different tasks
- persist agent context across restarts
- manage a fleet of 20-30 AI agents without chaos
- track work assigned to AI agents with git-backed issue tracking
- run autonomous long-running agent tasks with stall detection
- organize AI agent work across multiple git repositories

## When to choose
- you run many AI coding agents in parallel and need coordination
- you lose agent context on restarts and want persistent work state
- you want a central coordinator (Mayor) to delegate tasks to worker agents
- you manage multiple projects each with their own agent crews

## When to avoid
- you only use a single AI agent occasionally
- you want a GUI-based agent manager
- you don't use git or CLI-based coding agents
- you need a general-purpose CI/CD or task queue rather than AI agent orchestration
