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.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
