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.
Key Features
Stacked pull requests via CLI and VS Code extension: create sequences of dependent PRs, each under 200 lines, with automatic rebase when upstream PRs merge — keeps engineers unblocked without waiting for upstream review
Stack-aware merge queue: tests all PRs in a stack in parallel rather than sequentially, lands changes in order, and keeps branches green — Shopify reported 33% more PRs merged per developer after adoption
Graphite Agent AI review: flags bugs and suggests fixes pre-merge with an unhelpful comment rate under 3%; developers act on flagged issues 55% of the time, higher than the 49% rate for human reviewers
Graphite Chat: inline conversation on the PR page to get context on changes, resolve CI failures, and apply suggested fixes without leaving the review interface
Unified inbox and Slack notifications: single queue for all open PRs across repos with actionable Slack alerts that reduce context-switching between GitHub and communication tools
Team analytics: PR cycle time, review depth, and stack size trends per engineer and team — surfaces bottlenecks in the review workflow
