Instead of losing context when agents restart, Gas Town persists work state in git-backed hooks, enabling reliable multi-agent workflows.\n\n### What Problem Does This Solve?\n\n| Challenge                       | Gas Town Solution                            |\n| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |\n| Agents lose context on restart  | Work persists in git-backed hooks            |\n| Manual agent coordination       | Built-in mailboxes, identities, and handoffs |\n| 4-10 agents become chaotic      | Scale comfortably to 20-30 agents            |\n| Work state lost in agent memory | Work state stored in Beads ledger            |\n\n### Architecture\n\n```mermaid\ngraph TB\n    Mayor[The Mayor\u003cbr/\u003eAI Coordinator]\n    Town[Town Workspace\u003cbr/\u003e~/gt/]\n\n    Town --\u003e Mayor\n    Town --\u003e Rig1[Rig: Project A]\n    Town --\u003e Rig2[Rig: Project B]\n\n    Rig1 --\u003e Crew1[Crew Member\u003cbr/\u003eYour workspace]\n    Rig1 --\u003e Hooks1[Hooks\u003cbr/\u003ePersistent storage]\n    Rig1 --\u003e Polecats1[Polecats\u003cbr/\u003eWorker agents]\n\n    Rig2 --\u003e Crew2[Crew Member]\n    Rig2 --\u003e Hooks2[Hooks]\n    Rig2 --\u003e Polecats2[Polecats]\n\n    Hooks1 -.git worktree.-\u003e GitRepo1[Git Repository]\n    Hooks2 -.git worktree.-\u003e GitRepo2[Git Repository]\n\n    style Mayor fill:#e1f5ff,color:#000000\n    style Town fill:#f0f0f0,color:#000000\n    style Rig1 fill:#fff4e1,color:#000000\n    style Rig2 fill:#fff4e1,color:#000000\n```\n\n## Core Concepts\n\n### The Mayor \ud83c\udfa9\n\nYour primary AI coordinator. The Mayor is a Claude Code instance with full context about your workspace, projects, and agents. **Start here** - just tell the Mayor what you want to accomplish.\n\n### Town \ud83c\udfd8\ufe0f\n\nYour workspace directory (e.g., `~/gt/`)",
