Mergepace next to merge queues and agent orchestrators

Mergepace decides who works on what, and when a pull request may merge. Merge queues and agent orchestrators are other tools that solve other parts of the same problem.

What each one is for

Mergepace

Hands out tasks so agents don't work on the same files, and decides from git, CI, reviews and claims whether a pull request may merge.

Merge queue

Tests pull requests and merges them in order.

Agent orchestrator

Starts and watches coding agents.

The descriptions of other tools are general. Check each tool's own documentation for details.

How they work together

1. Orchestrator

   Runs the agents, if you use one. Mergepace can start an agent through a command or a webhook.

2. Mergepace

   Hands out the task, holds its files, and decides when the pull request may merge.

3. Merge queue

   Optional. Mergepace doesn't need one.
