Graphite is a code review platform for GitHub that restructures how changes are batched and landed. The core mechanism is stacked pull requests: engineers use the Graphite CLI or VS Code extension to create sequences of small, dependent PRs that each build on the previous one, continuing work on later changes while earlier ones are under review.
When an upstream PR in a stack merges, Graphite automatically rebases all dependent branches and updates their base targets. The stack-aware merge queue runs CI across all PRs in a stack in parallel rather than waiting for each to clear individually, then lands them in order.
Graphite Agent provides AI code review on every PR, operating on a full codebase understanding separate from the stacking infrastructure. Graphite Chat allows inline conversation on the PR page for context, CI failure resolution, and fix application. GitHub is the only supported VCS platform. Cursor acquired Graphite in December 2025; it continues operating as an independent product.
