Overview
What is Graphite?
Graphite is a pull request workflow platform built around stacked changes, review queues, and faster engineering collaboration. It serves teams that want cleaner code review flow when individual changes are split across dependent branches. Its main strength is workflow structure: engineers can manage stacks, unblock reviews, and reduce coordination overhead around incremental changes. Stack training should happen before teams depend on automation broadly daily.
Graphite fits engineering teams comfortable adopting a specialized review workflow around stacked diffs. It is less suitable when teams prefer simple branch models, have low pull request volume, or cannot change review habits. Buyers should compare repository integration, automation depth, pricing, and team readiness before making it a core code review layer. Teams should pilot stacked diffs before changing review habits across engineering groups.

Editorial Take
What we like, and what to verify
- Stacked workflows require team learning first
- GitHub dependence may limit some teams
- AI review quality needs validation carefully
- Merge queues require Team or Enterprise
- Free Hobby excludes GitHub organization repositories
- Cursor agents need separate paid Cursor access
