Running agents today is chaos

Shipyard OS fixes it.

12 terminal tabs, context lost on reboot
Persistent agent sessions with memory
Manual context-switching between agents
Goal hierarchy flows context automatically
Scattered configs across dotfiles and scripts
One CLI to manage everything
No visibility into agent spend
Per-agent budgets with hard limits
Cron jobs and manual scheduling
Autonomous execution with task board

Your crew, your org chart

Define who reports to whom. Tasks flow down. Status flows up.
