Show HN: Foremerge – Catch Intent Conflicts Between Parallel Coding Agents
Foremerge Foremerge is the open-source coordination protocol for coding agents, built above Git. Agents keep isolated worktrees while sharing intent, semantic claims, dependencies, provisional ChangeSets, decisions, validation, and provenance. Tell your agent to install → Done → See collisions before they land Paste one line into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor It installs Foremerge and wires itself up Every agent sees what the others are about to change, even in separate worktrees Status: Foremerge 0.5.0 is a pre-1.0, local-first MVP.
