You know, i think harnesses and tools are the next "webapps" for the industry. Everyone is going to be making their own. Some will be great some will be meh but i think that's where things are headed.

Yep, there are actual papers written on how you can have a mid-tier model punch way above its weight with an optimised harness and toolset.

Claude is still the best commercially available harness IMO, pi.dev is super good but not something I'd give to non-enthusiasts or would recommend using in an enterprise environment.

I see companies writing their own custom harnesses on top of opencode/pi.dev/crush later down the line. Instead of having a set of skills or MCPs you can just have all of the default stuff built in and automatically updated via normal IT workflows.
