Who Are These Guides For?
Gas Town is a power tool. These guides assume you are:
- Comfortable with the command line and git
- Already using AI coding agents (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, etc.)
- Ready to coordinate multiple agents working in parallel
- Willing to invest time learning a new operational model
If you are new to AI-assisted coding, start with a single agent (Stage 5-6 in the 8 Stages model) before adopting Gas Town.
