Agent Coordination
Overview
Coordinate multi-agent work using Gas Town's role hierarchy: Mayor assigns, Crew persists, Polecats execute transiently, and hooks drive the GUPP principle ("If there is work on your Hook, YOU MUST RUN IT").
When to Use
- Assigning beads to agents
- Managing agent handoffs
- Nudging stuck agents
- Coordinating Crew and Polecat workers
- Setting up hook hierarchies
Agent Types
- Crew: Long-lived, named agents for persistent collaboration
- Polecats: Transient workers with persistent identity but ephemeral sessions
- Dogs: Deacon helpers for infrastructure tasks
Hook Hierarchy
Three-tier hook system (base -> role -> rig+role):
- Base hooks: Apply to all agents
- Role hooks: Apply to agents in a specific role
- Rig+Role hooks: Apply to agents on a specific rig in a specific role
