busytown

Coordinate multiple coding agents through a shared event queue

Runs multiple coding agents in parallel that communicate through a shared SQLite event queue. Lets each agent listen for events, react to file changes, and trigger the next step without knowing about other agents. Includes a ready-made plan, code, and review loop plus a terminal dashboard for monitoring activity. Removes manual handoffs between planning, implementation, and code review steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install busytown?▼

Run `npx skills add gordonbrander/busytown --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

What does busytown do?▼

It coordinates multiple coding agents through a shared SQLite event queue, so each agent reacts to events and triggers the next step automatically. A built-in plan, code, and review loop ships ready to use.

How do agents communicate in busytown?▼

Agents push and listen for JSON events stored in a single SQLite database. Each agent only needs to know which event types to react to, never about other agents.

Can I create my own custom agents?▼

Yes. Agents are plain markdown files with YAML frontmatter defining what events they listen for and which tools they may use. The create-agent and create-town skills walk you through the design step by step.

Does busytown support file watching?▼

Yes. The runner watches directories and pushes file.create, file.modify, and file.delete events, so agents can react to code changes automatically.
