What is Manual agent harness configuration?

Traditional approach requiring separate installation and configuration of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agent CLIs without unified interface or resource sharing

✅ What Manual agent harness configuration does well

  • • Framework-specific optimization
  • • Direct control

❌ Limitations for Agents

  • • High setup complexity
  • • Duplicate resource management
  • • Slow DX for teams
  • • Difficult to share skills and plugins across projects
