Overview

Who it's for

Foremerge

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

I Have Been Clawed

Developers and teams using AI agents who want to learn from real failures.

Problem

Foremerge

Parallel agents in separate worktrees can each produce correct-looking changes that undo each other when merged.

I Have Been Clawed

Agent failures are scattered across social posts and blogs, so the lessons get lost.

Solution

Foremerge

A local coordination layer with a deterministic conflict detector that flags intent conflicts early.

I Have Been Clawed

A source-linked index of incidents with damage categories, severity and takeaways.

What makes it unique

Foremerge

Detects conflicts in intent, not just in lines of code, and installs itself from a one-line prompt to your agent.

I Have Been Clawed

Every incident is tied to a source, with an archived copy and a stated lesson.
