About localharness

LocalHarness Run AI agents on the models you already run locally. LocalHarness does not serve models. It sits on top of the one you already serve — vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, or LM Studio — and gives it real agents: tools, memory, and permissions, written in YAML instead of Python. Point it at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and the same agent runs. One main agent reads your task and hands pieces to helpers, each working in its own fresh window with only the tools you allowed it. The bet behind the project: most of what makes an agent good lives in the harness, not the model.
