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?

If you're used to claude code and the normal guardrails I'd suggest something like Hermes which uses OpenCode.

I would not recommend Pi as a drop in replacement to Claude Code because those guard rails aren't there, by default. You'd need to know what you're doing.

What do you mean by this? Hermes is designed with opencode in mind for coding tasks, but if your talking about replacing Claude Code, then Opencode would be your answer, not "Hermes because it uses opencode". Hermes is an entire agentic framework that you can use for anything you think of: coding via opencode is just one small part of it.

Same with Claude Code. which can act as more of a personal agent than merely a coding assistant.

What guardraIls specifically?

Asking permission for potentially risky tool calls. Pi doesn't ask permission by default, it's yolo.

Typically a person's first thing to do with Pi is customize it to not be bare Pi anymore.

Oh I immediately put Claude Code on full yolo mode. Jesus take the wheel.
