Small team, many agents

Startups adopt agent fleets early — and hit collision pain before they have a platform org. Coordination should ship before the thrash becomes culture.

Why startups feel this first

Headcount stays flat while agent count climbs. Two founders and a dozen overnight agents will fight over the same package, open overlapping PRs, and spend morning standups on merge archaeology. Velocity dies quietly — not from model quality, from missing turn-taking.

Managent is the thin control plane: lease before edit, see territory live, release on exit. You do not need an enterprise rollout to stop thrashing — you need shared intent across laptop sessions and whatever CI bots you already run.

Claim, heartbeat, release

An exclusive lease is a time-bounded claim on files or line ranges. managent run acquires before your agent writes, heartbeats while the process runs, and releases on exit — including failure paths. Overlap checks reject conflicting grants; the territory map shows who is waiting.

That is enough for most early fleets. Harden later if your threat model requires VFS isolation or required PR checks. Soft coordination first; land-time gates when you need them. Honesty on limits: /security.

The try path

managent try is the minutes-to-value path: seed a local home, start the API, optionally replay the collision demo, and print MCP/CLI wiring. No platform org required. Wrap the agents you already use — Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, shell wrappers — with managent run and watch the map fill.

Prefer watching before installing? The live demo shows coordinated vs uncoordinated runs. Deeper mechanics: exclusive leases and CLI concepts.

Optional semantic signal

Semantic impact checks are optional and advisory. Use them when you care about contract breakage across callers — not as a substitute for leases or merge-tree. See semantic demo. Ship the lease loop first; add signals when the fleet is already speaking the control plane.
