What Brigade does

You run more than one agent CLI. Each one keeps its MCP servers in its own config file, its memory in its own silo, and writes to both without review. Brigade is the local layer that fixes that. You keep one canonical source for your MCP servers, your tool and skill catalog, and your memory, and Brigade merges each into the tools you actually use: MCP servers into each tool's native config, tools and skills projected into each harness, and one shared memory owned in one place. A review gate sits

README

Brigade keeps coding-agent work trackable across tools, repos, and sessions: tasks, receipts, shared memory, and synced tools.

Install · Docs · Compare · Quickstart

Published v0.26.1 is the stable install (brigade-cli==0.26.1). Current main / 0.27 beta adds per-repo parallel-safe work waves, cross-repo ready-work campaigns with query-time wave composition, Memory Operations, activity and cloud status, code-graph views, bounded recall, and declared budgets. Cells below mark that split.

What it does

Ready work and claim safety. Brigade lists unblocked tasks and uses atomic claims so two agents cannot take the same item. Stable in v0.26.1.
Declared run limits and registered cloud activity. Current main / 0.27 beta enforces declared wall-clock and worker-dispatch ceilings and reconciles registered cloud work against provider and GitHub state.
Verification receipts. A check run through Brigade writes the command, the real exit code, and the Git state. Stable in v0.26.1. Not every Brigade command writes a receipt.
Owner-mediated handoffs and bounded recall. Handoffs are linted and routed by the memory owner. Safe targeted notes may auto-file, while ambiguous or risky notes wait for review. Current main / 0.27 beta adds capped session-start recall.
Explicit dry-run-first harness projection. MCP servers, tools, and skills are previewed before Brigade writes them into a harness. Stable in v0.26.1.

Learning in Brigade is outcome-based skill scoring, promotion, and rollback from captured verification receipts. It is not autonomous reflective memory learning.

Install

Install with pipx install brigade-cli or uv tool install brigade-cli, then follow the install guide, QUICKSTART.md, or give first 10 minutes and docs/agents-guide.md to your coding agent.

Stable channel: published v0.26.1. Preview channel: brigade update --channel beta for 0.27.0.devYYYYMMDD wheels. Details: update channels.

How it compares

Brigade overlaps several categories. Most adjacent projects specialize in one layer. Brigade connects those layers around trackable coding-agent work. Where a neighbor is stronger, that cell says so. Dated sources and longer notes: docs/comparison.md (2026-08-13).
