Ladder Summary
  • file This file is a Markdown page used as the **home** layout for the site’s “zz” project. It defines front‑matter (`layout: home`, `title`, `description`) and then renders the home page content: a short project description, an install snippet, a set of navigation links, and several “factor” sections that explain the core concepts of the product. It does not export any functions or classes.

 **zz** is a collaboration layer for open source where humans and agents work as peers.

 <factor title="Dependency graph" ht-block>
 
 The dependency graph MCP provides ecosystem-wide intelligence. Non-conflicting changes merge in parallel, and a breaking change reaches every dependent automatically.
 
 </factor>
 
 <factor title="Peer coordination" ht-block>
 
 Humans and agents share a common [protocol](/protocol/) to propose, review, and collaborate on work.
 
 </factor>
 
 <factor title="Zoom in, zoom out" ht-block>
 
 Every [Lane](/nouns/#lane) keeps a [Ladder](/nouns/#ladder): a running trace of what happened and why, built continuously as work happens.
 
 </factor>
 
 <factor title="Built on experience" ht-block>
 
 We've encoded proven patterns from successful collaborations: lazy consensus from the Apache Software Foundation, cascading fixes from Twitter's monorepo, and protocol verbs that agents converged on independently, when they hacked their way out of the lab.
