What you can do with Foremerge

Foremerge is an open-source Rust coordination protocol that lets coding agents announce planned changes, see overlapping plans, and share claims and verification results above Git.

4 use cases

  • Catch conflicting agent plans before code is written

    Publish each agent's planned symbol changes and get a conflict warning before either agent edits files.

    View prompt
    In the <repo path> repository, register two agents with --no-worktree and publish intents that declare the same symbol:<target> scope with different operations. Expected output: a non-empty conflicts list in the second publish result with severity, explanation, and suggestion. Verify that the conflicts array is not empty before you report that the plans clash.

  • Set up Foremerge for a repo's coding agents

    Install Foremerge, initialize the repo, and wire up every agent client you use in one pass.

    View prompt
    In the <repo path> repository, install Foremerge, run `foremerge init`, then run `foremerge setup all` and `foremerge doctor --client all`. Expected output: a per-client result from setup and a doctor report. Verify that setup exited with status zero, since the README says it exits nonzero if any client failed.

  • Claim a code area so other agents see ownership

    Mark which agent is working on a symbol, with an advisory lease that never blocks anyone.

    View prompt
    In the <repo path> repository, have two registered agents claim symbol:<target> with separate intents and reasons. Expected output: both claims succeed and the second response includes an overlap warning. Verify that advisory_only is true in the claim data before you tell anyone the scope is owned.

  • Gate agent handoffs on a test command Foremerge runs

    Register a trusted check so work counts as done only after Foremerge runs it itself.

    View prompt
    In the <repo path> repository, register one check with `foremerge checks set` using the repository's real test command, then run `foremerge doctor`. Expected output: a doctor report stating whether the check can run in this worktree. Verify that the check does not always pass before you rely on it as a gate.

How to use Foremerge

  1. Check you have what it needs: Git and jq installed; macOS or Linux, or the Windows binaries from the releases page; A Git repository to coordinate, with at least one coding agent or a shell to act as one.
  2. Open naw103/foremerge on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Register each agent with foremerge --json agent register --name stripe-agent --no-worktree and note the returned id. (inferred, check the README)
  4. Publish the first plan with foremerge --json intent publish --agent "$STRIPE_AGENT" --task "modernize-payments" --summary "Replace PaymentService with StripePaymentService" --scope symbol:PaymentService=replace. (inferred, check the README)
  5. Register a second agent and publish its plan with --scope symbol:PaymentService=extend.
  6. Read the findings with jq '.data.conflicts[] | {kind, severity, scope, explanation, suggestion}' on the second publish result.

These steps come from our top use case, Catch conflicting agent plans before code is written, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
