AgentSCM catches agent file clashes before edits run
An alpha source-control tool that tracks which files AI coding agents are working on and can refuse an overlapping edit before it runs, while keeping Git in the workflow.
- For
- Teams running multiple AI coding agents on shared codebases
- Worth noticing
- A refused edit includes the other agent, its task, last activity, and ordered options; the displayed 7 ms is hook p95, not total edit time.
Field notes
The step-through hub demo uses simulated agents and repository file names; it displays agent activity alongside files held, contested files, and PR overlaps. The example refusal gives an agent several next steps, including doing other work, requesting a handoff, asking the user, or repeating the edit. The page says merging stays in Git and distinguishes the hook’s reported 7 ms p95 from the time for the whole edit.
