Consensus itself does NOT matter, omp is objectively the best harness for power users yet it has 0 hn posts about it, zero.

You're fully free to use and try anything and without caring about what others think is right

How can this be "objective"? Surely its subjective.

I've tried a fuck load of harnesses but keep coming back to Codex as my harness.

omp is really good.

I have one non technical people in my firm using it. One is using it to assist with editing books, basically using it to gather up manuscripts from e-mail / Google Doc etc. submissions, and then switch models between a cheap one and Opus (for actually analysing the manuscript).

The other non-technical person has done really surprising things with it AI, like a long-running GPT 5.5 Pro chat session which is basically her expense tracker - it has an .xlsx file "carried" in the chat, and she just tells ChatGPT (or scans a receipt) whenever she has a new expense, and then prompts it in natural language when she needs a report. I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do with omp.

I figured pi itself would be the best harness because it's barebones and you make it what you want. omp is to pi what doom is to emacs is what lazyvim is to neovim.

The fact that I thought that this was amp misspelled until i someone validate omp and the checked myself indicates it's a subjective assertion at best.

Absolutely. It's the only harness that is actually RSI and not run by idiots.

Because it's a bunch of extension on top of on pi

"objectively the best"?

To quote a friend:

> Well it's objective _to me_

Probably means subjectively according to his own opinion...

OMP feels like the Linux of AI

omp is amazing. Daily driver for me.

omp.sh is unreadable. I've tried understanding what exactly this is and it's just a wall of edgy sounding slop.

> omp is objectively the best harness for power users

Care to detail this?
