Scion looks interesting, as a “hypervisor for agents”. It has Kubernetes influences, and a substrate for agent execution is a useful primitive.

Gastown goes further than Scion in that it chains agents together into an ecosystem. My sense is that Gastown or similar could be built as a layer on top of Scion.

Dan Shapiro helped shape my thinking on the two most important capabilities for agent orchestration as concurrency and loops. Scion provides concurrency only at present, and Gastown is also more concurrency-oriented than loops.

Fabro is a new OSS project I am working on which attempts to do both loops and concurrency well: https://github.com/fabro-sh/fabro (Maybe someday it should be built on top of Scion.)
