Brigade is a local CLI for people who point Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents at the same repos. Each harness keeps its own notes, its own MCP config, and its own idea of what "tests pass" means. Brigade gives them one ledger in the repo instead: what is ready, who claimed it, which commands actually ran and how they exited, and what the last session handed off.

**Stable:** v0.29.0 (`brigade-cli==0.29.0`). **Beta:** main is the 0.30 preview line. See the [changelog](CHANGELOG.md) for what each release changed.

## What it does

- **Ready work and safe claims.** `brigade work ready` lists unblocked tasks. Claims are atomic, so two agents cannot take the same item.
- **Verification receipts.** A check run through Brigade records the command, the real exit code, and the Git state. An agent's "tests pass" becomes something you can open and read.
- **Shared memory with an owner.** Agents write handoffs. The memory owner lints and files them. Safe notes can auto-file, and risky ones wait for review. Session-start recall is capped.
- **One tool catalog, previewed first.** MCP servers, tools, and skills are defined once and shown as a dry run before Brigade writes them into each harness.
- **Cloud agents tracked next to local ones.** Tasks you hand to Codex Cloud, Cursor cloud agents, or Jules are registered with their provider task ID and reconciled against provider and GitHub state, so they show up beside local runs instead of disappearing into another tab.
- **Optional fleet view.** A self-hosted hub can arbitrate repo claims across machines and show runs, harness sessions, and cloud tasks on one board.

Learning in Brigade means scoring skills against captured receipts, then promoting or rolling them back. It is not autonomous reflective memory.

<details>
<summary><b>Examples</b></summary>

**Two agents, one backlog.** Each agent asks for the next ready task. The second claim on the same item fails with exit 13 and names the holder.

```bash
brigade work ready --parallel-safe          # ready tasks, grouped into waves that do not touch the same files
brigade work claim --next --actor codex     # take the highest-priority ready task
```

**"Tests pass" with a receipt.** The agent runs the check through Brigade instead of reporting it from memory.

```bash
brigade work verify run --target . --command "pytest -q"
```

The receipt keeps the command, exit code, Git commit, and dirty state, so a reviewer can check the claim without rerunning it.

**Switching harnesses mid-task.** Claude Code ends a session with a handoff. The next Codex session starts from the brief instead of a blank context.

```bash
brigade handoff lint                        # check the handoff before it is filed
brigade work brief --target .               # what the next agent sees at session start
```

**One MCP config for every tool.**

```bash
brigade mcp plan                            # read-only preview
brigade mcp sync --write                    # merge into each harness's native config
```

</details>

## Install

```bash
pipx install brigade-cli      # or: uv tool install brigade-cli
brigade setup
```

Then follow the [install guide](https://brigade.tools/docs/getting-started/install) or [QUICKSTART.md](QUICKSTART.md). To let your coding agent do the setup, hand it [first 10 minutes](docs/first-10-minutes.md) and the [agents guide](docs/agents-guide.md).

For preview builds, run `brigade update --channel beta`. Details: [update channels](docs/update-channels.md).

## How it compares

Most neighbors go deeper on one layer. Brigade connects work, memory, tool config, and evidence around the same coding-agent task. Where a neighbor is stronger, its cell says so.

"Not documented" means the capability was not found in that project's official README or docs on the dated pass. It is not proof of absence.

## Scope

Brigade is a local, file-first control plane. Nothing runs until you run a command or your own scheduler does. The work ledger is machine-local JSON, not a distributed task database, and the optional fleet hub coordinates claims and events without replacing local records. Run budgets apply only when declared. Brigade does not push to GitHub, publish packages, or send messages unless you use an explicit send action. Full boundaries: [execution model](docs/execution-model.md).

Name collisions: this is `brigade-cli` from [escoffier-labs/brigade](https://github.com/escoffier-labs/brigade), not the archived CNCF Kubernetes Brigade, Spinabot Brigade, or the 2017 Python package that became Nornir.
