Claude Code et al. are amazing, but they are not that great to build on top of them. That's why I created OpenHarness: a code-first, composable, and configurable SDK for building powerful, capable AI agents deeply embedded in existing applications.

Can you tell my why you think I should choose a project started yesterday[1] by one person (driving an ai), versus something like ADK, developed by many people and backed by Google?

Fair question! ADK is a great framework for building agentic systems. OpenHarness is meant to be a set of higher-level primitives that can be used to quickly run more general and capable agents, and can easily work with existing AGENTS.md or agent skills standards. Basically, if you automated a task with Claude Code, and now you want to be able to *easily* run it programmatically. Or if you want to integrate an OpenCode-like agent into your application. OpenHarness is obviously new, but it also doesn't reinvent the wheel - it's built on top of Vercel's AI SDK!

It's Ai generated code that you haven't touched since posting to HN

It doesn't seem like you are invested in the project
