Frequently Asked Questions
Can multiple AI agents (Copilot, Singularity, CLI agents) work in the same monorepo safely?
Yes. The built-in Team Bus (#trcTeamRead / #trcTeamPost) lets every agent claim file paths with automatic TTL expiration and broadcast breaking warnings before editing shared files.
