FlightPlan
Your agents collide. File a FlightPlan.
Before work begins, each of your agents declares where it's headed and sees what's already in flight. They coordinate around conflicts, then leave behind what changed and why.
Advisory, never locking.
A byproduct of agent work, not another process to maintain.
FlightPlan coordinates coding agents before their work collides. This repo contains the CLI, MCP server, and installer for the hosted service at getflightplan.com.
Quick start
From your repo's root:
uvx getflightplan install
That installs FlightPlan for Claude Code. For Codex, append
--agent codex. The command is safe to re-run.
The hosted service is in private beta; request access at
getflightplan.com. The package is on PyPI, so the
command above is all you need. To pin a branch or commit instead, install from
the source:
uvx --from git+https://github.com/sledmonkey/getflightplan getflightplan install.
Version and compatibility policy: docs/versioning.md.
How it works
- File the work. Before editing, an agent declares its task and the files it expects to touch.
- See what's in flight. FlightPlan returns overlapping active work, including uncommitted changes Git cannot see, decisions made during coding, plus relevant recent outcomes.
- Coordinate. Overlaps are advisory: narrow the work, sequence it, or proceed with context.
- Debrief. The agent records what changed, what surprised it, and what it tried so the next session does not start cold.
What the installer adds
.flightplan.toml— pins the repo name every agent posts under, plus the registry URL. Committed on purpose; no secrets.- A managed agent snippet in
CLAUDE.mdand/orAGENTS.md. /registry-digest— an on-demand "what happened lately" command.- A session-end stop hook (
.claude/hooks/flightplan_stop_hook.pyplus its settings wiring) that reminds the agent to close out open intents.
It also checks MCP registration and service reachability, then offers to configure anything missing. Verification is advisory and never fails the run.
To remove everything the installer wrote, run getflightplan uninstall from
the repo root (--dry-run to preview, --purge-key to also delete the saved
API key).
Logging in
getflightplan login gets a credential without a copied API key. It opens
your browser, you approve there, and the credential goes to
~/.config/flightplan/env with mode 600. The credential is never printed.
On a machine with no browser, run getflightplan login --headless. The
command shows a short code and an address. Open that address on another
device and enter the code.
getflightplan logout removes the stored credential from this machine. To
revoke it on the service, use the /devices page.
Finding your repository
After a login, the client asks the registry which repository this checkout is.
It sends the address of your origin remote and up to 1000 commit ids, which
prove that you have a clone. If your account has access, the id and the name
go into .flightplan.toml. If the registry does not know the repository, the
client offers to register it in your browser. If your account has no access,
the client offers to request it.
getflightplan login --no-register skips the check. getflightplan register
runs it on its own, later. A failed check never fails a login.
Configuration
FLIGHTPLAN_URL—https://api.getflightplan.comFLIGHTPLAN_API_KEY— your key (the MCP server's env; the stop hook also reads~/.config/flightplan/env)..flightplan.toml— the per-repo pin: areponame andurl, or atarget_idwith a readablenameonce the repo has an id pinned.
What your agent is told
The installer adds the following managed contract with your repo name pinned.

Intent registry
This repo participates in the team intent registry (MCP server: flightplan).
- Before starting non-trivial work, call
post_intent. The test: will the work change behavior, defaults, or contracts another agent would encounter — or, for pure investigation, would the findings save the next agent an hour? Yes to either → post; Q&A and typo-level fixes, no. Send a one-paragraph summary (what + why),kind(build, orexplore/spikefor throwaway investigation), andtouchesglobs for the areas you expect to change. Keep the returned id for later. Forrepo, use the basename of the git origin remote (or the repo root directory name if there is no remote) — every agent on this repo must use the same name or collision checks silently miss each other. The response may includecontext: recent completed work relevant to your task — read those outcomes before starting; the surprises and dead ends in them are load-bearing. - If the response includes overlaps at level
warn, check what the overlap is before pausing. Two cases need no confirmation — mention the overlap and keep going: the overlapping intent is the very work you were asked to act on (reviewing it, verifying it, following up on it), or your task is read-only. Otherwise, tell your user who is doing what and which globs collide, and ask how to proceed before continuing.fyi/nudgelevels: mention briefly and keep going. - If the work changes shape or runs long, call
update_intent: revise the summary/touches when scope grows (collision checks run against them — stale globs miss real collisions), or call with just the id to renew the TTL on work spanning more than a day. The response includes freshoverlaps— the same collision check as posting, glob-based — and awarnthere gets the same treatment as awarnat post time. - When the work finishes or is abandoned — including when the session is
wrapping up — call
complete_intentwith a one-paragraph outcome: what actually changed, anything surprising, approaches tried and rejected, anything deliberately left in place. If awarnoverlap changed how the work went (coordinated, narrowed scope, proceeded anyway), say which. Attach the git facts you already know:filesactually changed (git diff --name-only),commitscreated, anduncommitted: trueif any of the work is not yet committed — that flag is what lets other agents' collision checks warn loudly instead of quietly. Completing an intent ends the slice, not the session: follow-up work after a complete that changes behavior, defaults, or contracts gets a fresh post — "same session" doesn't exempt it. - Re-check for collisions whenever your picture of in-flight work may be
stale — posting checks once, and it goes stale over a long session.
Re-check moments: a file changed between your read and your edit, or an Edit
fails on text you just read — someone's work landed under you; before editing
a shared doc or artifact you didn't create this session; when resuming after
a handoff from another agent; and before touching files named in an earlier
warn. The cheapest re-check isupdate_intentwith just your intent id (renews the TTL, returns freshoverlaps); uselist_intents(passoverlapsglobs, plussummaryfor a semantic check, orq/sincefor history) when you have no open intent or are scoping new work. - When a decision gets resolved in conversation (an approach chosen, an
alternative rejected, a direction set), record it the moment it settles:
post_intentwithkind: "decision", the question as the summary, and the resolution inoutcome— what was decided, what was rejected, and why. One call; no touches, no completion later. Decisions never collide and become searchable team memory. Decisions are also the correction mechanism: completed outcomes are immutable, so if one later proves wrong, post a decision citing what actually held. - The registry is advisory and must never block work: if its tools are missing
or error, proceed with the work, and tell your user once that they can run
uvx getflightplan install(see getflightplan.com) to join this repo's registry.
Data
What leaves your machine is the coordination record: intent summaries and outcome paragraphs, glob patterns, changed-file paths, branch names, and commit ids — sent only to the FlightPlan service. Source code contents are never uploaded. Everything the registry knows, it learns as a byproduct of your agents' work.
The details — what never leaves, and what is stored where — are in docs/data-flow.md. Vulnerability reporting: SECURITY.md.
