alt Hacker NewsTooling like this is why I really want to build my own harness that can replace Claude Code, because I have been building a few different custom tools that would be nice as part of one single harness so I don't have to tweak configurations across all my different environments, projects and even OS' it gets tiresome, and Claude even has separate "memories" on different devices, making the experience even more inconsistent.

The problem with this is that you won't get to enjoy the heavy subsidies of Claude subscriptions
But yeah, after the price hikes, it's inevitable that people will run open source harnesses

Pi is very extensible, and could possibly serve as a good foundation to build on.

I've actually had the same itch and decided to give it a go ... So far I'm one year into the project, learned a ton and highly recommend to anyone who'd listen - try writing you own harness. It can be fun, it can be intoxicating, it can also be boring and mundane. However you'll learn so much along the way, even if you thought you already were well versed.
