Meet the Bros
on the Line

Two AI coding agents wrapped in one terminal. Big Bro runs the hot station — read, write, execute, fire tickets. Lil Bro handles prep — reviews the pass, checks the recipe, calls out when something's off. Grandpa keeps the recipe book. No API keys, no cloud bill — it all runs on your hardware via Ollama.

Grandpa, the Recipe Book

Shared · Read by both bros
Recipe · Vol. II
Grandpa
Shared Knowledge Base · Hybrid Retrieval

Both bros share one local reference library — stitched together from your project, Grandpa's own notes, and whatever you file in. Keyword search catches exact hits, semantic search catches the rest. If one method misses, the other picks it up.

Vol. I
Coding Bible

Syntax, APIs, repo patterns, code Grandpa trusts.

Vol. II
Reasoning Bible

How to think through a problem. When to bail, when to push.

Today's Specials

Features · On the menu

Smart Failure HandlingFIRED

Four tool errors in a row triggers a sibling warning. Five errors, the bro stops and asks for help — no silent burnt pans.

Shared Context LogFIRED

A passive ticket rail — each bro tracks what the other is cooking without actually talking about it.

Bunkbed ModeFIRED

Toggle and Lil Bro is cleared for write access. Both bros coding the same project at the same time.

PersonalityFIRED

Working-status indicators, competitive banter, honest error reporting. They'll tell you when they're stuck.

Hybrid RetrievalFIRED

Grandpa runs keyword + semantic in parallel. Miss on one, catch on the other — context shows up either way.

Full Tool AccessFIRED

Read, edit, search, execute, calculate. Lil Bro gets the same set read-only until you drop the bunk.

Expo Mode (Punishment)

Big Bro stays on the hot line — your dev machine. Lil Bro gets sent to the expo window: a lightweight remote client on a phone or second device. Same two-bro setup, split across stations, reporting back over the wire.
