Graphite
the six Ws · specification
Built by Graphite (formerly withgraphite) for engineering teams managing high-throughput code review.
Provides stacked pull request workflows, an AI reviewer, a merge queue, and developer productivity metrics.
Used through a CLI, VS Code extension, and web app synced with a team's GitHub account.
Launched publicly around 2022 and rebranded its domain to graphite.com while expanding AI review in 2026.
Speeds up review cycles for teams that split large changes into smaller stacked commits.
Requires GitHub account access and syncing of pull requests through Graphite's service.
Commercial SaaS, closed source, code and PR metadata are synced to Graphite's servers for review and metrics.
