brigade 1.8.3 — install format fix

Breaking change for existing users

The marketplace was renamed from `brigade` to `gigaexp` for a cleaner install format.

Before:
```bash
claude plugin install brigade@brigade --scope project
```

After:
```bash
claude plugin install brigade@gigaexp --scope project
```

Reads as "install the brigade plugin from the gigaexp marketplace", matching convention used by other Claude Code plugins (`superpowers@superpowers-dev`, `firebase@claude-plugins-official`, etc.).

Migration for existing installs

If you already had brigade installed with the old marketplace name:

```bash

Remove old marketplace

claude plugin marketplace remove brigade

Add new marketplace

claude plugin marketplace add gigaexp/brigade

Reinstall plugin

claude plugin install brigade@gigaexp --scope project
```

What's new

No functional changes. Only documentation (README, CONTRIBUTING, docs/troubleshooting, examples/url-shortener/README) and `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` renamed from `"name": "brigade"` to `"name": "gigaexp"`.

Also fixed a stale version in marketplace.json (was still 1.3.2 from the early gigaexp move, now 1.8.3).

brigade 1.8.2 — first public release

brigade 1.8.2

First public release of brigade — your AI dev brigade for Claude Code.

What brigade does

One chef (sprint planner) coordinates a team of specialist agents through wave-based parallel execution, with fan-out code review and Bug Council for hard problems. Zero dependencies.

Highlights

• 14 agents — 5 dev roles (frontend, designer, nodejs, golang, devops), manager, generalist reviewer, 3 specialist reviewers (silent-failure, test-coverage, type), 5 Bug Council diagnosticians (root-cause-analyst, code-archaeologist, pattern-matcher, systems-thinker, adversarial-tester)
• 9 commands — init, onboard, plan, fix, bug-council, run, resume, status, version
• 12 bundled skills — i18n, typescript-magician, frontend-design, golang-pro, node, nodejs-core, fastify-best-practices, kubernetes-architect, devops-flow, infra-engineer (no external skill dependencies)
• 5 stack presets — react-basic, react-mobx-strict, nodejs-fastify, nodejs-express, nodejs-nestjs
• 4 hooks — context-monitor, statusline, setup-statusline, stop-guard
• Sprint learnings between iterations — brigade detects recurring patterns (HIGH_REVIEW_ROUNDS, CROSS_TASK_CONTRACT_DRIFT, HAVE_HALTED, MODEL_ESCALATION, ...) and feeds them to the next sprint's planner
• Model escalation — tasks start on sonnet, escalate to opus on failure, planner uses opus by default
• Designer/frontend role split with visual review — designer owns tokens and styled components, frontend owns app logic, visual reviewer catches generic AI aesthetics at merge gate
• File ownership enforcement via files_modify / files_no_touch per task — parallel workers cannot stomp on each other
• Worktree isolation for every worker spawn — mandatory, enforced
• Configurable review mode — full (5-reviewer fan-out, default), basic (only generalist), custom (user-defined list)

Install

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add gigaexp/brigade
claude plugin install brigade@brigade --scope project
```

Quick start

```bash
cd your/project
/brigade:init # pick roles, configure stacks
/brigade:onboard # (existing projects) scan codebase → ARCHITECTURE.md
/brigade:plan "add SSO" # brainstorm → design → sprint tasks with waves
/brigade:run # execute waves with fan-out review gate
```

Status

Pre-1.0 in the public sense — battle-tested in private use, ready for early adopters. Three commands (`/brigade:resume`, `/brigade:status`, `/brigade:bug-council`) haven't been run on real projects yet — see ROADMAP.md for known gaps.
