# microsoft/Agensh

> A decentralized multi-agent harness in Python where agents discover and claim sub-tasks, share findings and asynchronously merge progress without a central orchestrator. It scales to 1,024 agents and targets tasks such as rebuilding programs from behavioral observations.

## Useful for

- Run a 128-agent team to rebuild a program from behavioral observations
- Reproduce ProgramBench experiments via Docker Compose and launch scripts
- Compare test-pass rates of a single agent versus a multi-agent team

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 17:54–20:05: 226 → 254 stars (+28). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +34 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
- The repository is 59 days old and already has 254 stars.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: Agentsh – A Decentralized, Scalable Multiagent Harness” — 8 points, 1 day ago.
- About 55 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @dorucioclea (315 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 33
- Issues and pull requests: 11
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 15 per day
- Usual pace: 0 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 11
- Latest release: v1.0 (2026-10-23)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-25 20:15 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
