Show HN: Broccoli, one shot coding agent on the cloud

https://github.com/besimple-oss/broccoli

Article

TL;DR

Open-source cloud coding agent triggered by Linear tickets, runs autonomously and opens PRs.

Key Takeaways

  • Uses Linear tickets as primary context — same approach as Codex’s Linear integration
  • Context drift is unsolved: ticket description vs. evolved codebase is a core challenge
  • Competing with Anthropic/OpenAI harnesses is uphill when LLM calls go to the same labs anyway

Discussion

Top comments:

  • [Almured]: Context drift between stale tickets and evolved codebase is the core unsolved problem
  • [dennisy]: Hard to compete when your harness calls the same labs who are building their own
  • [sinansaka]: Similar GitHub-Actions-based system worked but multi-repo PRs took 30+ minutes
