## What it is
Scion is a multi-agent orchestration platform that runs 'deep agents' like Claude Code and Gemini CLI in isolated containers, each with its own workspace and credentials. It lets agents coordinate dynamically via natural language, running locally, on remote VMs, or across Kubernetes clusters.

## Use cases
- run multiple coding agents in parallel on different parts of a project
- orchestrate AI agents in isolated containers
- experiment with multi-agent collaboration patterns
- coordinate agents via group and direct messaging
- run agent swarms on Kubernetes or remote VMs
- use AI agents for research and non-software tasks

## When to choose
- you want several AI coding agents working concurrently without conflicts
- you need container isolation and separate credentials per agent
- you want to prototype flexible multi-agent orchestration via prompting
- you want agents to run across local, VM, or Kubernetes environments

## When to avoid
- you need a single-agent workflow with simple setup
- you require rigid, deterministic orchestration pipelines
- you don't use container-based tooling or coding agents
