Subagent orchestration without the overhead of frameworks like Gastown is genuinely exciting to see. I’ve recorded several long-running demos of Pied-Piper, which is a Subagents orchestration system for Claude Code and ClaudeCodeRouter+OpenRouter here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKWJ03cHcPr3OWiSBDghzh62A...
I came across a concept called DreamTeam, where someone was manually coordinating GPT 5.2 Max for planning, Opus 4.5 for coding, and Gemini Pro 3 for security and performance reviews. Interesting approach, but clearly not scalable without orchestration. In parallel, I was trying to do repeatable workflows like API migration, Language migration, Tech stack migration using Coding agents.
Pied-Piper is a subagent orchestration system built to solve these problems and enable repeatable SDLC workflows. It runs from a single Claude Code session, using an orchestrator plus multiple agents that hand off tasks to each other as part of a defined workflow called Playbooks: https://github.com/sathish316/pied-piper
Playbooks allow you to model both standard SDLC pipelines (Plan → Code → Review → Security Review → Merge) and more complex flows like language migration or tech stack migration (Problem Breakdown → Plan → Migrate → Integration Test → Tech Stack Expert Review → Code Review → Merge).
Ideally, it will require minimal changes once Claude Swarm and Claude Tasks become mainstream.
Personally, I'm fascinated by the opening for protocol languages to become relevant.
The previous generations of AI (AI in the academic sense) like JASON, when combined with a protocol language like BSPL, seems like the easiest way to organize agent armies in ways that "guarantee" specific outcomes.
The example above is very cool, but I'm not sure how flexible it would be (and there's the obvious cost concern). But, then again, I may be going far down the overengineering route.
