What is Foremerge?

Foremerge is an open-source coordination protocol for coding agents, built above Git. Agents keep isolated worktrees while sharing their intent, claims, dependencies, provisional changes, decisions and validation, so each agent sees what the others are about to change before their work collides. It works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor through a CLI, JSON API and MCP server.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Foremerge does well

  • Spots agents undoing each other's work before merge
  • One-line setup from your coding agent
  • Apache-2.0 licensed and local-first

Cons: where it falls short

  • Pre-1.0, so formats may still change
  • Works on one machine only; no cross-machine coordination yet

Who Foremerge is for

Developers running several coding agents on the same project at once.

Who can skip it

People using a single agent at a time.
