Better Harness
Better Harness is an open-source harness engineering platform that analyzes coding agent workflows and turns session evidence into improvements.
Better Harness provides open-source insights for the Agent Work Loop by running through your coding agent. It turns project and session evidence into prioritized improvements, verifiable next steps, and explicit missing evidence. The tool evaluates five connected dimensions including task understanding, controlled execution, change validation, reliable delivery, and learning capture. It supports multiple coding hosts such as Claude Code, Codex Desktop, Codex CLI, Qoder Desktop, Qoder CLI, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot CLI. Each finding includes a repair action that drafts a scoped fix plan for review.
