I built my harness in pi within herdr, I cloned (zipped and downloaded) 0xRichardH/pi-herdr-subagents and went from there, and used pi to build itself, adding gate workflow state control, provider fallbacks (I use many token plans), subagent skill injection, etc. It is highly custom to my needs and wants, and I think every developer needs to do this. I only talk to my planner which plans, and it subs out to designer,…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the harness will always be dependent on the underlying model, and useless without it. All custom harnesses are being built, could be obsolete in the next big-generation-jump of the models. I might be absolutely wrong, but "harnesses" / cc-derivatives became "good enough" only maybe a year ago max. Before that, people were pushing for gigantic folder structures with custom documents and "p…

You can use the harness sdks instead of the model APIs directly. Eg if you use Claude agent sdk you still can have plan mode, questions, todo lists, sub agents, background tasks, workflows, nearly everything that Claude code has and taking advantage of how it + anthropic models are complementary.
