I just built my own coding harness, just like Claude Code. (100% open-source)
A harness is the code wrapped around an LLM. The model only decides the next step, and the harness handles everything else, planning, tools, memory, and safety.
In simple words model acts as the brain and the harness provides the hands.
A coding harness is that same wrapper pointed at a codebase. It turns a plain text generator into something that reads files, edits code, runs tests, and fixes real bugs.
Here's everything that went into mine:
- the core agent loop
- file tools that double as external memory
- planning for long-running tasks
- subagents that work in their own context
- sandboxed execution in a throwaway VM
- human-in-the-loop approval
- persistent memory and checkpointing
The whole thing is built on CrewAI, a 100% open-source framework.
I also wrote an article on this. It covers everything that goes into building a coding harness, the agent loop, planning, subagents, sandboxing, memory, and checkpointing, built step by step.
The article is quoted below.
How do you stop AI agents from reading or exposing PII?
Relying on system prompts is fragile. We built a ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น for AI agents:
๐ Locked Catastrophic Floor (credentials, cards)
๐ Config-as-code (git-ready YAML diffs)

Real safety isn't one wall. It's the same rule holding at every layer the agent can reach.
Read-only stops the delete. It doesn't stop the leak. Test the layer beneath before someone else does.
A boundary you ask a model to respect only holds while it feels like respecting it.
Turn the temperature up on an agent, and it doesn't just hallucinate โ it quietly stops following your "use only these 3 sources" rule too.
Enforce limits outside the model, not in the prompt.

Dencun. โ
Memecoin frenzy. โณ
The top-two retail-focused L1s are competing for users.
But what do users really want? And how do we measure it?
โข Speed โ TPS
โข Cost โ Avg fee per transaction
โข Volume โ Transaction count
Most users also want ease of conducting transactions, but that's easier said than measured.
Based on these 3 consumer metrics, @Solana is outpacing Ethereum. Not just @ethereum, it's outpacing @base.
Solana's:
โ TPS is 110x more than Ethereum.
โ Transaction count is 9.7x Ethereum's.
โ Fee (avg) is lesser than Ethereum and Base.
(This is after Dencun and amid the memecoin frenzy though).
Will this disparity continue?
If 100 people use a chain, how many will be retained after a month?
@osmosiszone has the highest retention rate at 33% while with @Aptos_Network, only 8 of 100 users remain after a month.
Here are the rest:
โข @SeiNetwork: 8.8/100
โข @Polygon: 19.4/100
โข @THORChain: 19.8/100
โข @solana: 20.9/100
โข @arbitrum: 25.1/100
โข @Optimism: 27.4/100
โข @avax: 28.6/100
โข @cosmos: 31.7/100
