Why Strata

Source control built for how agents actually work.

Git is excellent distributed version control. Strata moves coordination, integration and context into the source control system itself — while keeping your existing Git workflows.

01 — The problem

Git wasn't designed for a hundred agents working at once.

Git is excellent distributed version control, and it already supports concurrent, distributed development. The friction sits in the workflow layered on top: branches, rebases, pull requests and merge queues were designed around a handful of people who remember what they did yesterday.

When many autonomous agents modify the same codebase, that workflow turns into orchestration work. Someone, or some script, has to create branches, sequence merges, retry rebases and carry knowledge from one session to the next. Strata moves coordination, integration and context into the source control system itself.

  1. 01Branch proliferationOne branch per task per agent, each to be named, tracked and cleaned up.
  2. 02Repeated rebasingEvery merge to main moves the base under every other open branch.
  3. 03Merge orchestrationSomeone has to decide the order in which work lands.
  4. 04Coordination overheadAgents cannot see who else is changing the same files.
  5. 05Concurrent conflictsText conflict markers are written for people, not programs.
  6. 06Lost session contextWhat an agent learned ends with its session.
  7. 07Fragmented knowledgeDecisions live in chat logs, PR comments and prompts.
  8. 08Fragile automationScripts around Git break on the edge cases agents hit constantly.
02 — How Strata works

From isolated work to integrated history.

  1. 01An agent receives a taskTracked with an owner, dependencies and status.
  2. 02Strata creates a workspaceIsolated, at the current authoritative revision.
  3. 03Context is retrievedDecisions, discoveries and checkpoints for the task.
  4. 04The agent submits changesAs a candidate, not a push to a branch.
  5. 05Strata validates and integratesAgainst current state. Overlaps return as structured conflicts.
  6. 06History and context persistWith provenance, for the next agent or developer.

Built for concurrency, tested with 100 agents.

A controlled evaluation on a single private deployment exercised 100 distinct agents submitting concurrently. Every acknowledged change integrated or returned as a structured conflict; none were lost. The conditions are stated with the claim — see the concurrency evidence.
