Overview
Gas Town is a multi-agent orchestration system for Claude Code that enables parallel AI workers to execute tasks simultaneously. It provides work tracking through beads, agent lifecycle management via polecats and crew, and automated code merging through the Refinery.
Prerequisites
- Go 1.21+ installed for CLI tools (
gtandbd) - Git configured with SSH or HTTPS access
- Terminal access for running commands
- Sufficient disk space for workspace (~100MB for ~/gt)
- GitHub account for repository integration (optional)
Instructions
- Install Gas Town CLI tools (gt and bd) using Go
- Create your workshop directory at ~/gt
- Run diagnostics with gt doctor and bd doctor
- Add a project as a rig using gt rig add
- Create work items as beads using bd create
- Sling work to agents using gt sling
- Monitor progress with gt status and gt peek
- Let the Refinery merge completed work
The Cognition Engine. Track work with convoys; sling to agents.
Output
- Executed gt and bd commands with results reported to user
- Engine status reports showing system health and worker states
- Work tracking updates (beads created, assigned, completed)
- Polecat and crew lifecycle events (spawn, completion, termination)
- Diagnostic results from gt doctor and bd doctor
- Merge pipeline status from Refinery operations

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".

It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
