5 use cases

  • Run coding agents on several machines in one window

    Link a laptop and a GPU box so Claude Code and Codex run in one command center.

    View prompt
    In the openharness repo at autonomous-ai/openharness, follow the Get started section to link the machine <machine-name> to the desktop app. Confirm that the daemon runs with `harness start` and that <machine-name> appears under Machines. Report the machine name and the list of harnesses running on it.

  • Build a circuit and compare two versions of it

    Use a circuit agent in CircuitJS to change a resistor and overlay the results.

    View prompt
    Using the CircuitJS harness from the openharness repo, build a simple RC filter for <target-cutoff-frequency>. Change one resistor, overlay the two traces, and report the measured difference in cutoff frequency. Verify that both circuit versions are saved in the workspace.

  • Pin a robot moment and test a disturbance

    Use the MuJoCo harness to push a simulated robot and compare the two outcomes.

    View prompt
    Using the MuJoCo harness in the openharness repo, run the robot model <robot-model-name> and pin the moment at <time-in-seconds>. Apply a 100 N push and show the two resulting futures side by side. Verify that the pinned moment is saved and both outcomes are listed.

  • Wrap your team's toolchain as a harness

    Copy the hello-world example, check it, and install it as your own harness.

    View prompt
    In the openharness repo, copy store/examples/hello-world to ../<harness-name>, update its harness.json and AGENTS.md for <team-toolchain>, then run `harness dsh check ../<harness-name>`. Report the check result and confirm the harness installs with `harness dsh install ../<harness-name> --link`.

  • Perform a Strudel track and keep the WAV

    Bring voices in and out of a live Strudel track and save the best take.

    View prompt
    Using the Strudel harness in the openharness repo, write a four-bar beat at <tempo-bpm> BPM, add and remove two voices, and export the result as a WAV. Verify that the WAV file and the Strudel source are both saved in the workspace.

How to use Openharness

  1. Check you have what it needs: macOS or Linux for the desktop app, downloaded from the Harness site; A terminal on each machine you want to link, with curl available; A Harness account for the login step.
  2. Open autonomous-ai/openharness on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Download the Harness app for macOS or Linux from the Harness site.
  4. On the second machine, run curl -fsSL https://harness.autonomous.ai/cli/install.sh | bash.
  5. Run harness login, then harness remote-password set, then harness start on that machine.
  6. In the app, open Machines and choose Link Machine, then enter the password you set.

These steps come from our top use case, Run coding agents on several machines in one window, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
