pi-shepherdr: Orchestrate Multi-Agents with a 271-Token Surface
solyarisoftware · x · 2026-08-12
Developer @Howaboua released pi-shepherdr, an open-source tool designed to streamline multi-agent orchestration. It allows a single master Pi session to manage multiple worker agents across different environments.
- Minimal Context: The master agent uses a highly compressed JSON-schema tool surface of only 271 tokens, while workers load zero overhead.
- Core Actions: Supports listing active agents (list), starting new tasks in explicit workspaces (start), monitoring (watch), and sending follow-ups (send).
- Fire-and-Forget: Delegation automatically steers the master upon completion or blockage, returning full replies and exact CLI commands for troubleshooting without needing complex skills or --help lookups.
