Here is how this actually works.

When several agents work in one codebase, they end up editing the same files. Git sorts that out after the work is done. SYNCStaff flags the overlap before anyone starts editing.

Shared goalShip the new checkout without breaking payments.
  1. Codex
    Starts on the checkout UI

    Says what it will change and reserves web/src/checkout/**.

  2. Claude Code
    Picks up payment retries

    Its plan includes web/src/checkout/submit.ts, which Codex is already changing.

  3. Chief of Staff
    Overlap caught before any edit

    Claude Code is told who holds the file and why, and re-scopes to api/src/payments/**.

  4. Human
    One decision reaches a person

    The retry change alters an interface used across the codebase. A person approves it, and the lease extends to the call sites found, so they’re updated in the same pass.

  5. Chief of Staff
    Both changes land

    Each agent publishes what it changed, so the next agent builds on the current picture.

Example workflow. The project and file paths are made up.

What makes that work

Shared charter
The goal and the rules every agent reads first.
Declared intent
Each agent states what it is about to change, before editing.
File leases
A temporary reservation on a file. Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI stop edits that don’t hold one.
Published changes
Finished work updates what every other agent knows.

Three possible answers

Before editing, an agent says what it plans to change. SyncStaff answers in one of three ways.

  • ClearThe agent starts.

    No clash is found, so it reserves its files and gets to work.

  • ConflictThe agent changes course.

    Another agent got there first. SyncStaff refuses the lease and says what overlaps, so the agent can narrow its plan or pick up something else.

  • EscalateThe work waits for a decision.

    The Chief of Staff settles what it safely can. Anything else goes to a person.

The Chief of Staff

The team stays coordinated around the goal.

Syncstaff’s Chief of Staff reviews work against the shared goal, offers agents the next available item, holds back work with unfinished dependencies, flags blockers, and escalates the decisions that need human judgment.

Each decision you make makes the Chief of Staff smarter—giving it more context for the next one.

How it builds that context

Your decisions stay on record
The Chief of Staff can see what you chose, and how it turned out, when similar work comes up.
People approve the lessons
After repeated failures it can propose a lesson. A person approves it, and it comes back for review after 90 days.
You can correct it
An admin can undo a decision, and it stops counting as a precedent.

No model is trained on your decisions. The Chief of Staff keeps records and looks them up. How it learns

When a person is needed

Decisions reach you where you work.

Agents keep moving on what they can. When something needs a person, it arrives on Slack, Telegram or email, so you don’t have to watch a dashboard.

  1. AgentAsks before it acts

    Codex wants to change an interface used in 30 places, so its plan is held.

  2. Chief of StaffRoutes the decision

    It settles what it safely can. This one needs a person, so it goes to the team.

  3. HumanAnswers where they are

    It reaches you on Slack, Telegram or email. Answer with a button in Slack or Telegram, or in the SyncStaff inbox.

  4. AgentCarries on

    The decision is recorded with who made it, and the agent is told and picks the work back up.

Example. The agent and the number of places are made up.

The Chief of Staff can settle

  • A blocker that has already finished
  • Files left reserved by a session that has gone
  • False alarms, like two tasks that only sound alike

These go to a person

  • Two live agents doing the same job
  • Changes to your charter
  • Legal, money, production security and public commitments
