For engineering teams and solo developers

Turn coding agents into one delivery system.

You approve the plan. Brigata scopes work across specialized agents, enforces contracts, runs tests and reviews, and returns evidence you can accept—or stop.

Founding preview

Built for people already feeling the coordination tax.

Strong fit
Solo developers, technical founders, and engineering teams running multiple coding-agent sessions against real repositories.
Bring
One real project and the delivery boundary that keeps breaking: context, ownership, review, integration, or recovery.
Expect
A personal fit conversation and hands-on technical onboarding. Brigata is not a self-serve SaaS product yet.

The coordination inversion

Give every developer an agent—
and coordination becomes the bottleneck.

Each person can generate code faster. The organization still has to keep intent, architecture, ownership, dependencies, security, integration, and acceptance aligned across every session.

  1. 01
    Context fragments

    Every agent starts from a different prompt, branch, and slice of product truth.

  2. 02
    Assumptions diverge

    Interfaces, ownership, and architecture drift before anyone sees the conflict.

  3. 03
    Changes collide

    Duplicate work and incompatible decisions surface late during review and integration.

  4. 04
    Humans reconstruct truth

    Senior engineers become dispatchers, diff readers, and forensic investigators.

Without Brigata

Local speed becomes system drag
  1. 01Plans live in prompts and conversations
  2. 02Architecture and ownership drift between sessions
  3. 03Humans reconstruct evidence and decide when “done” is real

With Brigata

The system governs the loop
  1. 01One approved intent anchors the entire team
  2. 02Contracts, ownership, and dependencies govern dispatch
  3. 03Security, tests, integration, and acceptance leave evidence

Without a shared delivery authority, agentic velocity compounds ambiguity. Brigata turns the team’s output into one accountable system.

The end of status extraction

Status is read from the loop.
Not extracted from the team.

Brigata already holds what a standup tries to reconstruct—approved plans, scoped claims, dependencies, review verdicts, test results, failures, and acceptance receipts. Anyone who needs status—teammate, founder, PMO—reads the same evidence-backed state instead of asking the room.

No longer recited

  • What did you work on yesterday?
  • What are you picking up today?
  • Are you blocked?

Carried into the room

  1. Decide the held migration: retry, adopt, or intervene.
  2. Unblock Scope C: resequence the work or renegotiate the contract.
Agenda 02

Two decisions. No recitals.

Every state is backed by coordination evidence, not self-report. Standup keeps the decisions and the risk. It loses the database query.

When the team is one person

One developer can produce like a team.
That means inheriting a team’s coordination problems.

With several agents acting as architect, builder, reviewer, tester, and researcher, a solo developer can become the product owner, dispatcher, integrator, and final safety net all at once.

How you run Brigata

A local-first coordinator.
Not another chat window.

Brigata runs beside the repository on a customer-controlled workstation or cloud host. Its operator surfaces supervise one durable coordinator while supported coding-agent engines perform bounded work underneath it.

  1. 01

    Register

    Bind a real repository.

    Brigata records the project, accepted architecture, workspace policy, Git state, and supported worker configuration.

  2. 02

    Direct

    Approve the outcome.

    Use the browser/Electron cockpit or terminal operator console to inspect intent, architecture, scope, and acceptance before mutation.

  3. 03

    Execute

    Let bounded roles work.

    The coordinator dispatches isolated work through governed engines, including Cline and an optional Claude Code CLI adapter, using customer-side credentials.

  4. 04

    Accept

    Review evidence, not theater.

    Plans, changes, tests, reviews, verdicts, and unresolved risk return to one acceptance surface backed by durable receipts.

For the reader who wants the whole model

The sales story is short. The delivery system is not.

The sections below preserve the detailed operating model: lifecycle receipts, coordination mechanics, trust boundaries, and the reasoning behind Brigata. The separate technical overview goes further into architecture, recovery, and authority.

The governed delivery loop

Every stage leaves a receipt.

Brigata treats planning, contracts, execution, review, and acceptance as durable product state—not chat history that disappears when an agent session ends.

    A human approves the outcome, boundaries, and acceptance criteria before autonomous delivery starts.

Coordination is the moat

Every agent shares the same score.

Claims, dependencies, contracts, and evidence make parallel work visible before changes collide. Brigata blocks uncertainty instead of silently integrating it.

Governed work graphIllustrative
  1. Architecture establishes the contract set.
  2. Security reviews the design.
  3. Three builders execute scopes A, B, and C in parallel.
  4. Integration admits work only after the contract check.
  5. Verification produces evidence and a governed verdict.
The coordinator releases each scope only when its contracts, dependencies, and evidence are admissible.

Customer-controlled execution

Your code runs on infrastructure you control.

Brigata owns the delivery discipline. It does not run customer worker tasks or repository code on Brigata-operated cloud workers.

Customer-controlled compute

Execution stays on your side.

  • Repositories and isolated worktrees
  • Worker engines and provider authentication
  • Builds, tests, previews, and artifacts
  • Local secrets and infrastructure access

Brigata authority

Governance stays explicit.

  • Plans, architecture, and contracts
  • Claims, policies, budgets, and approvals
  • Dispatch, retries, gates, and cancellation
  • Verdicts, audit trails, and closeout

Customer-selected model providers and worker engines follow the access, privacy, and data-handling policies you configure.

Built by Turtleback Research

Built from the mess it is designed to govern.

Nick Cosimano and Turtleback Research began building Brigata while operating specialized agent teams against real software repositories. Faster code generation exposed a harder problem: preserving architecture, ownership, evidence, and recovery across every session.

Brigata is being dogfooded as its own delivery authority. Failures become durable evidence, product repairs, and regression coverage—not a polished demo path that disappears when the network or coordinator restarts.

Founding preview

Know what you are joining.

Early access is a hands-on product relationship around a real delivery problem—not a waitlist for a finished SaaS dashboard.

Who is a strong founding-customer fit?

Solo developers, technical founders, engineering teams, agencies, and platform groups already using several coding-agent sessions and feeling the cost of coordination, review, or recovery.

What is available today?

Brigata has a working local execution and coordination pipeline under active acceptance testing. Onboarding is guided while packaging, workstation surfaces, and product boundaries continue to harden.

Does Brigata replace standups or the PMO?

Neither. Brigata replaces status extraction: the reconstruction work where people re-derive who is doing what, what state it is in, and what is stuck, then re-type it into meetings and PMO reports. Because plans, claims, dependencies, reviews, tests, failures, and acceptance receipts are governed state, status is read rather than collected—and standups keep the human work of decisions, priorities, risk, and unblocking. A meeting stops being a database query performed on people.

Where do code and credentials live?

Repositories, worktrees, builds, tests, provider credentials, and worker processes remain on customer-controlled infrastructure. Brigata records coordination state and evidence without taking custody of source execution.

Which coding-agent engines are supported?

The current governed runtime is built around Cline, with Claude Code CLI available as an optional adapter. The architecture supports additional governed adapters only after their execution, audit, and recovery contracts are proven.

What does the founding program include?

Hands-on technical onboarding, direct access to the product team, a real delivery problem used to pressure-test the system, and meaningful influence over early priorities. Brigata is not yet generally available or sold through fixed pricing tiers.

What happens after I submit the form?

We review the inquiry personally and reply from hello@brigata.dev to arrange a short fit conversation. No installation is required before that conversation, and sharing detailed source code is neither required nor requested.

What does Brigata cost?

There is no fixed self-serve price yet. Founding engagements are scoped individually; scope, cost, access, and responsibilities are agreed before onboarding begins.
