Gas Town: K8s-like Orchestrator for AI Coding Agents

· One min read

Source: Twitter threads (@ctsmithiii, @benatkin) Author: Steve Yegge Date: Feb 2026

What It Is​

A Kubernetes-like orchestrator for 20-30 parallel AI coding agents. Where K8s asks "Is it running?", Gas Town asks "Is it done?"

Key Architecture​

  • Merge queues for conflict resolution between parallel agents
  • Patrol agents for quality control
  • Git-backed persistent state
  • Manages 20-30 Claude Code instances

Conceptual Model​
