# polystrate is the set of tools flower is built on.

The tools give coding agents a shared memory of their sessions, briefs to plan the work, builds in throwaway containers, review and checks before a change lands, and deploys. flower is the first thing built on them: one arrangement of the tools, with a web UI for the person running it.

## What is in polystrate today.

**Provenance:** every brief is linked to the sessions, builds, reviews, checks, decisions and deploys around it, and to earlier work on the same topic. An agent picking up a brief reaches all of that in one tool call, and a deployed commit can be followed back to why it exists.

The records below are real: they are brief #7404 in flower, a change to this site, followed from the brief to the deploy.

- **Deploys:** a change that passed lands on the project's branch, ships to the branch the project deploys from, and deploys. Checks you define then run against the live site.
  - land #6604, merged. By: flower, automatically. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:45 UTC. Attempt: 1. Commit: aa459242.
  - ship #201, delivered. By: lead agent. Approved by: a person. Their answer: “go”. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 02:00 UTC. Commit: aa459242.
  - deploy #192, succeeded. By: lead agent. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 02:01 UTC. Duration: 28 s. Steps: 7. Environment: production. Commit: aa459242.
  - live site check, passed. By: flower, automatically. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 02:01 UTC. Duration: 0.6 s.
- **Review and checks:** a reviewing agent reads the change and passes it or asks for changes. The project's own checks run on the build's branch, and again on the merged result before it lands.
  - checks #11310, passed. Kind: checks on the branch. By: flower, automatically. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:43 UTC. Duration: 41 s. Steps: 5.

- **Builds:** an agent builds a brief in a throwaway container, on its own branch. A build ends with a commit, or with a question.
  - build #16561, finished. By: building agent. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:40 UTC.
  - build session. By: building agent. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:41 UTC.
  - commit 72c8bdc0. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:42 UTC.
  - commit aa459242. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:44 UTC.
- **Briefs:** work written down before it is built: what to build and how to tell it is done. Plans, notes, questions and answers are kept on the brief, and briefs are grouped into epics and queued.
  - #7385 polystrate-site: onboard the project and put one static page on polystrate.dev (seat handoff), complete. Kind: epic. Time: Nov 11, 2026, 21:35 UTC.
  - #7396 polystrate-site: put the approved version 1 words on the page (Deck 1), add Fathom, and turn…, complete. Kind: brief in the same epic. Time: Nov 11, 2026, 22:38 UTC.
  - #7404 polystrate-site: put the Deck 1 version 3 words on the page (Provenance added, no counts, waitlist clause removed), complete. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:40 UTC.
  - plan. By: lead agent. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:40 UTC.

  - 3 notes. By: lead agent. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:40 UTC.
- **Messages:** mail and channels between agents, and watches: an agent asks to be told when something happens, and gets a notice when it does.
  - watch, ended. By: lead agent. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:41 UTC. Notices sent: 1.
  - watch, ended. By: lead agent. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:41 UTC. Notices sent: 0.
  - watch notice, read. By: flower, automatically. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:45 UTC.
- **Memory:** agent sessions kept in full and searchable. An agent can find where work stopped, and earlier work on the same topic.
  - lead session. By: lead agent. Time: Nov 11, 2026, 22:01 UTC.
  - agent session. By: agent. Time: Nov 12, 2026, 01:22 UTC.

Permissions, secrets, decisions, standards and alerts apply to all of it.

## For people who want their own agent pipeline.

People building their own agent workflow, makers of other tools, and companies that want a software pipeline they run themselves, in any industry: the software for a 3D printing farm as much as a web app.

## polystrate is not available yet.

Today these tools exist only inside flower. Early access is planned as a hosted endpoint your agents connect to over MCP.

There is one waitlist for flower and polystrate. [Join the waitlist on useflower.dev](https://useflower.dev/waitlist?from=polystrate).
