+## Group Commit
+
+Buffer writes in memory and flush as a single disk write. ~12x faster for sustained writes.
+
+```typescript
+const store = new Store();
+await store.open("./data", {
+  writeMode: "group",     // Buffer ops, flush periodically
+  groupCommitSize: 50,    // Flush when buffer has 50 ops
+  groupCommitMs: 100,     // Or after 100ms idle
+});
+
+// Writes are buffered — no fsync per op
+await store.set("a", valueA);
+await store.set("b", valueB);  // Both flushed together
+
+// Explicit flush if needed
+await store.flush();
+
+// close() always flushes before shutting down
+await store.close();
+```
+
+**Safety:** Forced to `"immediate"` when `agentId` is set (multi-writer mode). Other agents can't see buffered ops, so group commit is single-writer only.
+
+**Tradeoff:** A crash can lose ops that haven't been flushed yet (up to `groupCommitMs` milliseconds of data). Use `"immediate"` (default) when every write must be durable.
+
 ## Multi-Writer Mode
 
 Multiple agents can write to the same store concurrently. Each agent gets its own WAL file — no write contention.
