Your senior engineer just left. Your bus factor was measuring the wrong thing.
A senior leaves and the code stays readable. What walks out is the cross-repo dependency map they held in their head — the part your bus factor, measured from commits, never counted.

You don't need a virtual monorepo. You need a graph.
Two patterns for AI coding agent context across repos. One scales by hand, one by construction.

AI coding agents need cross-repo context. The teams running them at scale are already building it themselves.
Three teams shipped the same diagnosis in two weeks: AI coding agents need cross-repo context. Two built the dependency graph substrate. One built around it.

Meta needed 50+ AI agents to map their tribal knowledge. The most durable piece of their stack is the part you can build today.
A close read of Meta's April 2026 tribal knowledge engine, the academic paper they cited, and the architectural argument hidden inside both.
