I spent 6 months frantically working fulltime on a harness, and when it was finished, I just stopped using it and went back to Codex CLI. I've also stopped using all the fancy features: subagents, planning mode. I've also stopped worrying about context, since I just let codex hit compaction. Somehow this doesn't seem to hurt much. Weird.

harnesses i suspect are better for noncoding tasks like wrapping claude code to be a personal assistant... but im still procrastinating on building mine... if only i had a personal assistant to tell me how much time i should spend on building a personal assistant wrapper for claude

You adapted to how your tool works rather than try to shape it into what it isn't. So far all the nondeterministic (prompt based) workflows I have tried have been meh in an "I can't tell if it's any better but it sure is more complicated and less portable" way.

Current tools. Opencode and whatever cli i can't avoid (like claude code for my first month which I don't thinking I'll renew) usually accessed using Paseo for it's excellen mobile client.

Yeah, good point. The simpler solution eventually wins. But I do think a GUI makes more sense though, that was the reason I went my own way, but I think you're right that keeping it barebones is the way.
