Build, launch, market, and review without losing context.
The tools change at each stage—repos and agents while building, checks and previews at launch, the CMS while marketing, dashboards when reviewing traffic. CmdBrief keeps the product, the evidence, the tasks, and the agent work attached from one stage to the next.
The tools change at each stage — build, launch, marketing, and review each open a different set of apps and sessions.
Every stage creates more state across repos, checks, content, and metrics for every product.
Context loss is the real cost of switching stages without the surrounding product context attached.
- Build
Build the next product
Keep the repo, local app, implementation tasks, coding agents, and review evidence together from first commit through a working release.
- Launch
Ship without losing the launch
Keep release checks, launch tasks, browser previews, copy changes, and agent follow-ups attached to the product going live.
- Market
Turn marketing work into execution
Track campaign and content tasks beside the files, browser tools, and agent sessions doing the work instead of rebuilding context in every app.
- Review
Review traffic with product context
Open the analytics or traffic dashboard you already use beside the workspace, tasks, and agent follow-ups, then capture the next opportunity as a task.
Your day is not one coding session. It is five products at five different stages.
One product needs a build fix. Another needs launch copy. A campaign is ready to review while yesterday’s release is producing traffic data. CmdBrief gives each stage a home and keeps the product context attached, so moving between build, launch, marketing, and review does not mean rebuilding the operating context.
What CmdBrief keeps together at each stage—and what stays in the tool that owns it.
Four bounded workflows with the same operating contract: preserve context, define the next outcome, launch bounded work, and keep the evidence visible.
A workspace that returns exactly as left
Repos, panes, tasks, and startup commands reopen as a saved workspace for the product.
layout.yamlTasks carry acceptance criteria
Write the next job with status, priority, and criteria, then assign it to yourself, Claude, or Codex.
task → agentDiffs stay beside the work
Every command block records the git snapshot it ran against while the working diff fills in live.
git snapshotEvidence stays with the product
Test output, agent runs, and verification results stay attached instead of scattering across terminals.
cargo test ✓
Code stays on your Mac. Provider sessions run under your accounts; CmdBrief is not a cloud IDE.
Release checks become tasks
Turn the launch checklist into tracked tasks with status and priority so nothing ships half-reviewed.
checklist → tasksPreviews beside the work
Keep the staging app and deploy dashboard open in a browser pane next to the launch tasks.
browser paneCopy stays with the release
Draft and review launch copy in the same workspace that owns the product going live.
launch copyFollow-ups stay attached
Post-launch fixes and agent runs land in the same product thread, not a freshly rebuilt context.
follow-ups
Publication is an explicit action in the authoritative service — CmdBrief never pushes or deploys for you.
Campaign work as bounded tasks
Split content and channel work into tasks with acceptance criteria instead of open-ended growth items.
bounded tasksThe CMS stays in a pane
Keep the CMS or channel you actually publish to visible beside the files and agent doing the work.
CMS in paneAgents do reviewable implementation
Use Claude Code or Codex for the copy or content changes with the diff and evidence on hand.
agent runChannel state at a glance
Which campaign is live, which needs assets, and what waits for a decision stays visible.
status · priority
CmdBrief is not the publishing system — the CMS or channel remains the system of record.
Owned tools stay the source
Search Console, analytics, and billing stay in the tools that own the data.
Search ConsoleSignal becomes a task
Capture a specific traffic opportunity with the measurement window noted, then move on.
signal → taskImplement with the right agent
Launch the bounded fix with product context already attached, then review the diff.
task → agentReturn after the window
Reopen the dashboard once the window closes and measure the effect in the tool that owns it.
7-day window
Measurement stays in the tool that owns the data; CmdBrief keeps the loop around it.
Build context scattered across terminals, editors, and chat sessions
Launch checklist living outside the product that is going live
Marketing work recreated in every app before a task can start
Traffic reviewed in a dashboard with no link back to the work
Rebuilding context every time you switch products
One persistent workspace for every product, from repo to release
Release checks, previews, and follow-ups attached to the launch
Bounded campaign tasks beside the files, browser tools, and agents
A signal becomes a task, a task becomes an agent run, the window gets measured
Saved workspaces restore the complete setup for any stage

CmdBrief restores the product workspace exactly as you left it — repos, panes, tasks, and startup commands — and attaches the working diff, agent runs, and verification evidence to that product. The terminal stays a terminal; the context around it stops scattering.
No. Publication, deployment, and measurement stay in the authoritative services: the deploy pipeline, the CMS, and the analytics tools keep the data they own. CmdBrief keeps the work and evidence around those tools in one workspace, and launch checks or follow-ups become tracked tasks.
Whatever owns the stage you are working on: the staging app and deploy dashboard during Launch, the CMS or channel during Market, and Search Console or analytics during Review. Any URL printed in terminal output is Cmd-clickable straight into a browser pane.
Inspect the dashboard in the tool that owns the data, capture a specific signal as a task with the measurement window noted, launch Claude Code, Codex, or another supported agent for the bounded implementation, then return to the owning tool after the window closes to measure the effect.
Yes. Workspaces are saved as named layouts with ${NAME} secret references, so every product gets the same repeatable setup — tabs, panes, layout, and startup commands — without duplicating secrets into files.
Any supported agent: Claude Code, Codex, Grok CLI, Kimi CLI, OpenCode, and Cursor CLI all get the supervision layer with live working, needs-action, completed, and failed states, notifications, and session resume. Any other CLI can run in a regular terminal pane without the status layer.
