Risk Assessment

  • Multi-agent spawning and orchestration system - spawns isolated worker agents autonomously with git worktree isolation
  • Custom mail/messaging system for inter-agent coordination enabling automated workflows without human approval gates
  • Pluggable runtime adapters for multiple AI coding agents (Claude, Pi, Gemini, Aider, Goose, Amp) - framework for external agent execution
  • SQLite-based mail system for persistent state and agent communication coordination
  • Persistent configuration across multiple hidden directories (.claude, .overstory, .canopy, .mulch, .pi, .sapling, .seeds) with agent definitions and settings
  • Headless agent spawning with web UI and tmux integration for live steering - reduced human oversight during autonomous operation
