Broccoli is a self-hosted AI coding agent that runs on your own GCP infrastructure and monitors your Linear project board. When you assign a ticket to the Broccoli bot, it reads the ticket, plans an implementation, writes the code, and submits a pull request on GitHub — all without any external control plane. Every diff gets dual review from Claude and Codex before the PR lands. The setup is deliberately friction-minimal: a single bootstrap script handles deployment in about 30 minutes. Your prompts, your data, and your API calls stay on your own infrastructure. There's no SaaS dashboard, no usage fees beyond your own LLM API costs, and no vendor lock-in baked in. For teams that are uncomfortable routing proprietary code through hosted coding agent services, Broccoli fills a real gap. It won't replace senior engineering judgment, but for well-specified tickets — bug fixes, feature additions with clear acceptance criteria, test writing — it closes the loop from ticket assignment to reviewable PR without a human writing a single line.

Reviewer scorecard
“Self-hosted is the keyword that matters here. You own the infra, the prompts, and the API calls. For any team with compliance requirements or proprietary code concerns, this is the only sane way to run a coding agent that touches your tickets. The dual Claude + Codex review on every diff is a smart trust-but-verify layer.”
“Type-safe search params and route params are game-changing. Catch route errors at compile time, not runtime.”
“GCP-only infrastructure means you're adding real DevOps overhead before you get any value. And 'well-specified tickets' is doing a lot of heavy lifting — the hard part isn't writing the code, it's figuring out what to write. Until this handles ambiguous tickets gracefully, it's a tool for teams that already write exhaustive Linear descriptions.”
“The type safety for search params alone justifies adoption. URL state management done right.”
“The self-hosted coding agent model will matter enormously as enterprises get serious about agentic development. Broccoli is early, but the architecture — your infra, your LLMs, your audit trail — is exactly what regulated industries will require. This is what the next wave of enterprise AI adoption looks like.”
“TanStack Router plus TanStack Start could become a serious full-stack framework contender.”
“The bootstrapped, indie-built philosophy shines through. No VC backing, no SaaS fees, no telemetry. The GCP limitation feels like a constraint the team will work past, but for solo developers or small teams who live in Linear and GitHub, this is a genuinely useful addition to the workflow today.”
