## What it is
SwarmForge is a tmux-based orchestration platform for coordinating multiple AI coding agents across git worktrees. It provides role-specific prompts, shared constitution articles, and message passing so agents can collaborate on the same project in structured workflows.

## Use cases
- orchestrate multiple ai coding agents on one project
- run agent swarms in separate git worktrees
- coordinate coder and reviewer agents via tmux
- set up role-based agent workflows like specifier coder refactorer architect
- prevent multiple ai agents from conflicting on the same codebase

## When to choose
- you want structured multi-agent software development with defined roles and handoffs
- you already use tmux and git worktrees and want agent coordination on top
- you prefer disciplined TDD and specification-driven agent workflows

## When to avoid
- you need a single-agent coding assistant
- you want a GUI or hosted orchestration service rather than tmux scripts
- you need a permissively licensed dependency - the repo has no license file
