Deputize the crew. Keep the badge.
A posse is the crew a ranger deputizes: assembled for the job, granted real but bounded authority, while the ranger keeps the badge. posse is that, for AI agents. It’s an open-source crew harness: you deputize a crew of agents — each one a persona with a name, a job, hard guardrails, and its own memory — dispatch them over a shared, dependency-aware work queue, and watch the whole crew from one cockpit. The agents get genuine autonomy inside their bounds; the keys that matter never leave the operator’s hand.
