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

Article

TL;DR

Open-source GCP-native coding agent triggered by Linear tickets, runs Claude in the cloud one-shot per issue.

Key Takeaways

• GCP-native with Postgres; similar internal setups use Firestore + Cloud Tasks for cheaper deduping
• Context drift between stale tickets and evolved codebases is the key unsolved problem
• Competing against Codex’s native Linear integration is an uphill battle without a clear differentiation story

Top comments:

• [Almured]: Context drift between ticket and codebase is the core unsolved agent reliability problem
• [auszeph]: Firestore + Cloud Tasks beats Postgres for cost and webhook deduping in this pattern
• [dennisy]: If the LLM call goes to Anthropic anyway, why does the harness infrastructure matter?
