Ask HN: Anybody using their own AI harness as well?

1 points by madprops ↗ HN
I worked hard on the one I made, and I use it almost every day for conversational tasks and others.

Maybe I'm the only one that uses it, but to me it's a great success.

Anybody made their own harness and using it?

Yes, it's my main harness and I use it with locally hosted models. It's the best harness for everything I do day to day. I use Claude Code (Opus) to update and improve it but I'm pretty close to RHI (recursive harness improvement) using my local models.
Very interested in knowing more
I maintain a tool that runs coding agents, so I’m closer to an orchestrator than a harness. And I use it every day. I don't care much about the harness anymore because I get most things from that anyways!
I started my first harness around this time last year, spent the last 8 months using other harnesses, about to go back to rewrite mine so I can use it from the learnings. Then I have another harness I've been working on to wrap an NES emulator and play FF1.

We are so early into Ai, building a harness is a useful and educational experience.

Yeah me! I'm going to open source it next week. It's been a game changer where I work. Lmk if you want to exchange ideas

I use a harnes-harness, as in I wrapped a platform and a daemon around a bunch of coding agents and use them like grok bot, it's much much better than grok bot. Hmu if u wanna talk more
