new-harness

new-harness is a skill for Claude Code from duyet/oma. It costs 45 tokens per session (423 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A scaffolding skill for adding a new harness, meaning the code that controls an agent’s model loop, to open-managed-agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and register harnesses for the default loop, ACP proxy, Flue, or another runtime.
Why use it?
It gives you the project’s current interface and registration steps, reducing mistakes when adding a new way to run the model.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

new-harness scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Scaffold a new harness named $ARGUMENTS (the string an agent selects via harness: "<name>").

  1. Read the current contract first — open apps/agent/src/harness/interface.ts and use the live HarnessInterface, HarnessContext, and HarnessRuntime shapes. Do NOT assume a signature from memory; the interface evolves.

  2. Study a real implementation for the pattern:

    • apps/agent/src/harness/default-loop.ts (DefaultHarness) — drives its own streamText/generateText loop.
    • apps/agent/src/harness/acp-proxy-loop.ts / flue-loop.tsmeta-harnesses that hand the turn to an external runtime and make shouldCompact / compact / deriveModelContext deliberate no-ops.
  3. Create apps/agent/src/harness/<name>-loop.ts exporting a class that implements HarnessInterface. run(ctx) is required; only override the optional hooks (onSessionInit, shouldCompact, compact, deriveModelContext) where this harness must diverge from platform defaults. If you override deriveModelContext, keep its output byte-deterministic — the prompt cache invalidates on any prefix drift (see the interface comments).

  4. Register it in apps/agent/src/index.ts, next to the existing registerHarness(...) calls:

    import { <Name>Harness } from "./harness/<name>-loop";
    registerHarness("<name>", () => new <Name>Harness());
    
  5. Add a unit test alongside the existing harness tests, then run /preflight.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
