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.
