About the project

Foremerge is an open-source coordination protocol for coding agents built on top of Git: agents declare intents and semantic scopes before editing, so intent conflicts surface before code conflicts.

Useful for

Run multiple agents in isolated worktrees and see plan collisions before any edits
Wire the Foremerge MCP server into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor to publish intents
Register a validation check via foremerge checks set so changes are gated before landing
