Harness is built for Codex workflows that need repeatable structure instead of freestyle execution.
Turn a product or engineering workflow into a graph of role-bound agents, capability nodes, artifacts, and final deliverables.
Start from:
python3 scripts/harness_cli.py init-workflow --template software_delivery --output ./harness.workflow.json
python3 scripts/harness_cli.py verify-workflow ./harness.workflow.jsonBest fit:
- Repository audits
- Refactor workflows
- QA and release checks
- Documentation pipelines
Use Harness when a workflow needs separate planning, execution, evidence collection, and final report assembly.
Start from:
python3 scripts/harness_cli.py init-workflow --template research_ops --output ./harness.workflow.json
python3 scripts/harness_cli.py verify-workflow ./harness.workflow.jsonBest fit:
- Market research
- Competitive scans
- Content production pipelines
- Business process automation
Harness keeps multi-agent systems inspectable. Every real agent needs role, execution, and output specs. Script-only utilities remain tools.
Best fit:
- Custom workflow products
- Internal agent workbenches
- Agent runtime experiments
- Spec-bound task execution
