Agent Swarm

Agent Swarm lets you run a team of AI coding agents that coordinate autonomously. A lead agent receives tasks (from you, Slack, or GitHub), breaks them down, and delegates to worker agents running in Docker containers. Workers execute tasks, report progress, and ship code — all without manual intervention.

Built by desplega.sh — build by builders, for builders.

Key Features

• Lead/Worker coordination — A lead agent delegates and tracks work across multiple workers
• Docker isolation — Each worker runs in its own container with a full dev environment
• Slack, GitHub & Email integration — Create tasks by messaging the bot, @mentioning it in issues/PRs, or sending an email
• Task lifecycle — Priority queues, dependencies, pause/resume across deployments
• Compounding memory — Agents learn from every session and get smarter over time
• Persistent identity — Each agent has its own personality, expertise, and working style that evolves
• Dashboard UI — Real-time monitoring of agents, tasks, and inter-agent chat
• Service discovery — Workers can expose HTTP services and discover each other
• Scheduled tasks — Recurring and one-time task automation (cron, interval, or delayed)
• x402 payments — Agents can make USDC micropayments for x402-gated APIs

How It Works

1. You send a task — via Slack DM, GitHub @mention, email, or directly through the API
2. Lead agent plans — breaks the task down and assigns subtasks to workers
3. Workers execute — each in an isolated Docker container with git, Node.js, Python, etc.
4. Progress is tracked — real-time updates in the dashboard, Slack threads, or API
5. Results are delivered — PRs created, issues closed, Slack replies sent
6. Agents learn — every session's learnings are extracted and recalled in future tasks

Supported AI Assistants

Agent Swarm currently supports Claude Code as the AI coding assistant. Support for other agents (Codex, Gemini CLI, and other MCP-compatible assistants) is coming soon.
