The Problem No One Talks About Everyone's excited about vibe coding. But here's what happens when a team of 3 uses Claude Code / Cursor simultaneously: Dev A's agent: GET /api/users/:id → { userId, name } Dev B's agent: GET /api/users/:id → { user_id, username } Dev C's frontend: expects { id, displayName } Merge day = disaster. Every. Single. Time. Why This Happens AI agents are stateless. Each session starts fresh with no knowledge of what your teammates' agents decided. They make reasonable but incompatible assumptions about the same API. The Fix: Shared Living Specs I built Coware around one idea: every agent reads the same spec before writing code. Paste one prompt into your AI agent Agent reads /llms.txt → auto-setup Scans codebase → generates interface specs (Markdown) Specs sync to server → every teammate's agent pulls them All agents code against the same contract Results API merge conflicts: zero Time re-explaining context to agents: zero Setup: 30 seconds, one paste Open sou
