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

2026-04-22 @ 16:09:56Points: 15Comments: 7

We’re a small team, and our main company supplies voice data. But we kept running into the same problem with coding agents. We’d have a feature request, a refactor, a bug, and some internal tooling work all happening at once, and managing that through local agent sessions meant a lot of context switching, worktree juggling, and laptops left open just so tasks could keep running.

So we built Broccoli. Each task gets its own cloud sandbox to be executed end to end independently. Broccoli checks out the repo, uses the context in the ticket, works through an implementation, runs tests and review loops, and opens a PR for someone on the team to inspect.

Over the last four weeks, 100% of the PRs from non-developers are shipped via Broccoli, which is a safer and more efficient route. For developers on the team, this share is around 60%. More complicated features require more back and forth design with Codex / Claude Code and get shipped manually using the same set of skills locally.

Our implementation uses:

1. Webhook deployment: GCP 2. Sandbox: GCP or Blaxel 3. Project management: Linear 4. Code hosting & CI/CD: Github

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

We believe that if you should invest in your own coding harness if coding is an essential part of your business. That’s why we decided to open-source it as an alternative to all the cloud coding agents out there. Would love to hear your feedback on this!
