# AI Agent Harnesses (MoC) ## Overview Map of every [[AI Agent Harness]] tracked in this vault. A harness is the scaffolding around an LLM that turns a chat-completion endpoint into an interactive agent: tool routing, conversation loop, sandbox, permission model, memory, context files. The harness is distinct from the model; the same harness usually drives many models, and the same model usually has many harnesses competing to wrap it. The interesting comparison axes: - **Surface coverage**; CLI only, or CLI + IDE + desktop + cloud. - **Engine lock-in**; first-party model only vs provider-agnostic. - **Sandboxing**; permission profiles, network policy, file allowlists. - **Extensibility**; hooks, plugins, MCP, skills, custom commands, AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md. - **Distribution model**; subscription-bundled, API-token, BYO-key, fully local. - **Scope**; coding-only vs general personal-assistant style. Two adjacent surfaces are intentionally included even when they are not strictly CLIs: - **IDE-embedded harnesses** (Cline, Roo Code, Codex IDE Extension, Cursor's panel) belong here because they share the agent-loop architecture and skill model. - **Cloud / managed harnesses** ([[Claude Managed Agents]], [[Codex Cloud]]) belong here because the contract is the same; you ship intent, you get a PR. ## Notes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #ai/agents/harnesses AND !#type/quote AND !#type/creation/quote WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> <!-- SerializedQuery: LIST FROM #ai/agents/harnesses AND !#type/quote AND !#type/creation/quote WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> - [[AI Agent Harness]] - [[Aider]] - [[Antigravity 2.0]] - [[Antigravity CLI]] - [[Antigravity SDK]] - [[Claude Code]] - [[Claude Code Auto Mode]] - [[Claude Code Channels]] - [[Claude Code Routines]] - [[Claude Dynamic Workflows]] - [[Claude Managed Agents]] - [[Claude Managed Agents Environments]] - [[Claude Managed Agents Multi-Agent]] - [[Claude Managed Agents Sessions]] - [[Claude Opus 4.8 and Dynamic Workflows]] - [[Cline]] - [[Codex App]] - [[Codex CLI]] - [[Codex Cloud]] - [[Codex IDE Extension]] - [[Cook AI Agent]] - [[Cursor CLI]] - [[Cursor.com]] - [[Docker Agent]] - [[Fabro]] - [[Gemini CLI]] - [[GitHub Copilot]] - [[GitHub Copilot App]] - [[GitHub Copilot CLI]] - [[GitHub Copilot SDK]] - [[Google Antigravity]] - [[Goose]] - [[Grok Build]] - [[Harness Engineering]] - [[Hermes Agent]] - [[JetBrains Air]] - [[Kimi CLI]] - [[Microsoft Agent Framework]] - [[OpenAI Agents SDK]] - [[OpenAI Codex]] - [[OpenClaude]] - [[OpenClaw]] - [[OpenClaw ACP Agents]] - [[OpenClaw Channels]] - [[OpenClaw Gateway]] - [[OpenClaw Hooks]] - [[OpenClaw Memory System]] - [[OpenClaw Multi-Agent Routing]] - [[OpenClaw Nodes]] - [[OpenClaw Skills]] - [[OpenClaw Standing Orders]] - [[OpenClaw Sub-Agents]] - [[OpenCode]] - [[OpenWork]] - [[Paseo]] - [[Pydantic AI]] - [[Roo Code]] - [[Superset]] - [[Vercel Open Agents]] - [[Windsurf]] <!-- SerializedQuery END --> ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #ai/agents/harnesses AND (#type/quote OR #type/creation/quote) WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC -->
