Timing

The problem is compounding — fast.

  • AI coding agents are going mainstream — Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, Copilot Workspace, Windsurf, Cline.
  • Multi-agent workflows are emerging — more agents on the same repo at once.
  • Agents work 10–100× faster than humans, generating far more concurrent changes.
  • With N agents, the conflict space grows as O(N²) — and agents build no memory of who works on what.
concurrent changes / hour conflict surface ∝ N² agents →

There is no standard for persisting, versioning, or sharing agent reasoning. Syns is that infrastructure.
