Overstory Multi-agent orchestration for AI coding agents. Overstory turns a single coding session into a multi-agent team by spawning worker agents in git worktrees via tmux, coordinating them through a custom SQLite mail system, and merging their work back with tiered conflict resolution. A pluggable interface lets you swap between 11 runtimes — Claude Code, Pi, Gemini CLI, Aider, Goose, Amp, or your own adapter. Warning: Agent swarms are not a universal solution. Do not deploy Overstory without understanding the risks of multi-agent orchestration — compounding error rates, cost amplification, debugging complexity, and merge conflicts are the normal case, not edge cases. Read STEELMAN.md for a full risk analysis and the Agentic Engineering Book (web version) before using this tool in production.
