Yeah, that's very cool.

This is in the domain of multi-agent orchestration.

And a lot of us, including me, we're not quite yet there at multi-agent orchestration.

I came across Gastown a couple of months ago and I dutifully added these things to my notes for eventual amelioration of my Claude Code

architecture on my AI machine over there.

I'm not on my AI machine right now.

It's over there.

It's sitting there waiting for me one day.

Anyway, I wanted to talk about something that's related, which is I didn't really know what it was.

And I kept coming across this term in the context of agentic coding.

And so here's Gastown, which is a very cool concept for multi-agent orchestration.

And then there's Linear.

And Linear is an issue tracking and project planning tool used by teams at OpenAI, Perplexity, and Cursor.

And

know issue tracking is really important when you have multiple agents working on a code base and you have to you know identify an issue and then track what happens through it so this is sort of the marshaller uh in in the gas town context you know the one that's overlooking the thing and trying to manage the collective progress of the multiple agents well

Think about that in the context of an open AI where there's dozens and dozens of developers, you know, all of them working on different things that may be interrelated.

Well, linear is an AI forward system that looks at all of those things and it,

breaks everything down into issues where people find things that were generated by code, you know, or AI, you know, agents that the code has a problem with it.

Well, linear will automatically identify that and then track it as an issue.

It has feature level groupings that are called projects and it does cycles so that you have this sort of pacing of all of the work that's being done by multiple agents and then merging them together.
