Building a meta harness: routing, model switching, memory and context handoffs across agents
omarsar0 · x · 2026-09-14
Responding to reader questions, ELVIS (omarsar0) describes his custom "meta harness" — an upper orchestration layer that connects multiple existing agent harnesses.
- It handles routing, model switching, orchestration, context handoffs, memory and compaction
- A custom harness offers more than control: it enables optimizations like dynamic workflows that work across models
- His take: previous models were already good enough for most day-to-day real-world tasks — no need for the latest model everywhere
- He promises to share more harness details going forward
