runstate gives agent swarms one shared place for work, quotas, budgets, and results across processes and machines. Agents can claim tasks without duplicating work, share API limits, browser and GPU capacity, recover when workers crash, hand work off safely, stop once enough is done, and see what’s blocked and why. Plug it into the agents you already run.

Could you build this?
Partial A coordination layer for distributed swarms demands low-latency distributed state management, locking primitives, lease renewal, and strict idempotency across worker crashes.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a distributed consensus/state storage engine (such as Redis, Raft, or FoundationDB) paired with a high-throughput API gateway (Go or Rust) to handle task claiming, distributed rate-limiting (token bucket algorithms), budget reservations, and worker heartbeat monitors. The difficult technical challenges involve network partition handling, distributed lock fencing tokens, lease re-assignment, and ensuring zero race conditions under concurrent swarm requests across different machines.
