Question 1

Do I need multiple machines to use this?

Accepted Answer

No — Repo Mesh runs on a single machine too (the self-hosted OSS build supports it). Adding more machines to the mesh is a cloud feature, useful once you want workers running on more than one box at a time.

Question 2

What stops two agents from overwriting each other?

Accepted Answer

Each worker operates in its own isolated copy of the repo. The Refinery is what reconciles and lands the results on main, with validation gates and patch-equivalence checks before anything merges.

Question 3

Can I use different AI coding agents together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The mesh is vendor-agnostic — coordinator and workers can be any supported CLI agent, mixed as needed.
