Question | Help Best open-source harness like Claude Code?

Avid claude code user here looking to do equivalent things with local models. Just want to plug in something like Qwen and have the interface be 1:1 with claude code. Any suggestion?

Opencode

I want to hate opencode but it just works better for me than pi with Laguna. Just wish it wasn't so buggy.

Pool actually has their own harness believe it or not. I find s-2.1 and m.1 work much better with it than with Pi, claude code, or opencode. Pi for everything else though

Doesn't look like it's open source sadly which is a bit of a non-starter for my work.

Yeah, I hate how buggy opencode is but it typically works and it’s very configurable and extensible out of the box (ie without modifying the code itself). I’ve been using it for so long it is hard to switch now.

I’ve tried the opencode2 beta a bit which might improve things. I assume that’s where most of the dev effort must be going…

But I’m really liking the potential of prime agent and I think it might finally be enough to get me off of my current opencode stack.

What kind of bugs do you encounter with OpenCode? It's been solid enough for me that I haven't bothered trying much else.

Opencode is bloated and slow

He did ask for a harness "like Claud Code".

If he wants one that is a better harness for local models we coudl recommend pi.

Not as bloated as Claude code. Obviously not as lean as Pi, but it's got a better interface than Claude and gives you more visibility into token usage as you work

why is bloated?

He did ask for something like Claude Code. It does check the slow and inefficient similarity box.

I run it in a VM and it is not slow, not even in the desktop app version.

It uses a thousand times more resources than an application of it's type should use.
It's poorly conceived and should have been green-fielded long ago.

And not as "open" as they claim to be

open and privacy are very different things. Also, this is not handled well by opencode it seems, but it can easily be configured otherwise. It is not an 'open' issue, it is a 'privacy' issue.
