Open-source coding harness for autonomous software agents
nikola_mr64990 · x · 2026-07-20
An open-source coding harness built on CrewAI, positioned as an alternative to Claude Code. The post argues that the model is only the “brain,” while the harness provides the “hands” for coding: planning tasks, using tools, remembering context, editing files, running code, and deciding next steps.
The implementation highlights:
- an autonomous agent loop
- file tools used as long-term memory
- planning for long-running tasks
- subagents with isolated context
- sandboxed execution in a disposable VM
- human-in-the-loop approvals
- persistent memory and checkpointing
A video is included to show the system in action.
