Agent Conflict Radar — catch intent conflicts between parallel coding agents
Detect architectural conflicts between AI agents before they write code
- Problem
- Teams run multiple coding agents on one repo using parallel worktrees. One agent replaces a class while another is extending it, but Git only flags textual conflicts at PR time. The real damage is architectural: two plans that cannot both be true, discovered too late. The author says these failures hurt the most because they waste hours of review and rework.
- Solution
- A lightweight service where each agent declares its intent before touching code—files it plans to modify, classes/methods it will add or remove, architectural assumptions. It cross-checks intents, alerts on semantic conflicts immediately, and surfaces a conflict list with coordination suggestions before PR time.
- Users
- Dev teams running multiple coding agents, AI-native startups, platform engineers
- MVP
- A CLI for agents to declare modification intent; a local or lightweight coordination service tracking active intents; conflict detection limited to file/class/method overlap; alerts and suggestions when conflicts arise; GitHub PR integration posting a conflict summary
- Revenue
- Per-seat team subscription; free tier supports up to 3 concurrent agents, paid unlocks more and conflict history
- Why now
- Parallel coding agents are becoming a mainstream workflow, but conflicts still surface only at PR time—almost no independent tools tackle this
