What is Google Scion used for?

Scion orchestrates multiple AI agents in isolated containers for parallel tasks like coding and testing, across local or cloud setups.

How do I get started with Scion?

Clone the repo, grok the lexicon (grove, hub), pick a harness for your agent (e.g., Gemini), spin up a runtime profile — Docker or K8s — and run the Relics demo.

Does Scion work with my favorite LLM?

It supports Gemini, Claude, and more via harnesses; community adapters will explode for others soon.
