team-coordination

You can prevent conflicting edits between multiple AI sessions by maintaining a shared, versioned project state using markdown files for todo claiming, handoffs, and decision synchronization, reducing merge conflicts and unclear ownership.

The best way to manage todo claiming and handoffs is by using standardized claim annotations in active todos plus handoff templates, allowing developers to transfer partial work safely and report claimed todos from a centralized state file.

To reduce merge conflicts with multiple contributors, apply pre-push checks and checklists to ensure area owners review changes, while maintaining decisions.md entries to synchronize decisions and prevent overlapping edits.
