Updates and insights from the Mandible team.
We ran our first real SDLC pipeline - four agent colonies coordinating through GitHub labels using a local Nemotron model. The first attempt failed. The system corrected itself. Nobody intervened. This is what stigmergy buys you.
A concrete walkthrough of stigmergy applied to GitHub, where issues, PRs, labels, and comments become the signals that autonomous agents sense, act on, and leave behind.
Introducing Mandible - a universal stigmergy framework where autonomous agents coordinate through shared environments instead of message passing. No orchestrator. No routing. Complex behavior emerges from simple rules.
