A cast of agents

I need a better term for a grouping of agents.

Swarm feels like an undifferentiated mass. Team feels too corporate. I tried village for a while, but it never quite sat right. So I had a short brainstorming session with Claude and landed on cast: a cast of agents.

It works for an almost unreasonable number of reasons. A cast is a group of hawks or falcons, which fits because Hawkeye was my nickname for years. A cast of characters is already familiar. You cast a falcon, a spell, or an actor. You cast from a mold. You cast off and release.

It’s not a double entendre. It’s a multi-entendre.

So that’s the language I’m using from here on out: a cast of agents.
