Brokk: Context Engineering for Code

Brokk is a new tool for supervising code-writing AI assistants.

It is a standalone application because effective context engineering for software development requires a different paradigm than the 40 year old IDE design optimized for reading and writing code at human speeds.

This talk will cover the principles behind Brokk's design, how Brokk leverages static analysis to help LLMs understand your code at a level deeper than raw text, and Java-specific optimizations like dependency decompilation to avoid hallucinations.

We'll also take a brief look at the JVM tech powering Brokk, including Joern (the static analysis engine) and Jlama (pure Java LLM inference).
