# Snowtree
Snowtree is Databend Labs' review-driven workflow for keeping AI coding sessions safe, auditable, and merge-ready.
AI generates code. You must review. You can't review everything or roll back safely.
Snowtree fixes this with **worktree isolation**, **incremental review**, and **staging snapshots**.
## Highlights
- **Worktree isolation** – every AI session runs in its own Git worktree, so you can spike multiple ideas in parallel with zero merge headaches.
- **Incremental review loop** – review, stage, and lock in vetted changes after each AI round; subsequent rounds only diff against staged code.
- **Native CLI agents** – run Claude Code or Codex directly without wrappers, meaning no extra queues or limits.
- **Stage-as-snapshot** – staged files become the canonical baseline. When you're ready, merge them back and ship the PR.
## What Snowtree Automates
- **AI agent writes code** – edits live in the isolated worktree while you review.
- **AI agent commits** – generates messages and commits the staged snapshot.
- **AI agent syncs PRs** – opens or refreshes pull requests on demand.
- **AI agent updates from `main`** – rebases/merges the latest upstream changes.
- **AI agent resolves conflicts** – fixes merge conflicts without touching staged files.
