What is Brunel Agent?
Brunel Agent is a desktop application for development teams to plan work with AI, brief their coding agents, and verify the results. It sits at the start and end of your AI development workflow — planning before execution, and verification after. It does not generate code itself.
Does Brunel Agent write code?
Does Brunel Agent write code?
No. Brunel Agent is intentionally focused on planning and verification, not code generation. It produces structured plans that you export to a coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or any other tool). This separation keeps your planning clean, auditable, and agent-agnostic.
Which coding agents does Brunel work with?
Which coding agents does Brunel work with?
Brunel is agent-agnostic. Any AI coding agent that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) can connect directly to Brunel’s local MCP server. For agents that don’t support MCP, you can copy or export the plan manually. The app is specifically designed around Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot, but is not limited to these.

What is the difference between archiving and deleting a session?

Brunel uses soft-delete — archiving removes a session from your active view but preserves all history. You can recover an archived session at any time. There is no permanent delete for sessions.
