OpenHarness drops code-first agent orchestration SDK
OpenHarness is an open-source TypeScript SDK built on Vercel AI SDK 5 for building modular, production-grade AI agents. It focuses on "harness-centric" engineering, providing native MCP support and automated context management to bridge the gap between raw models and reliable agentic behavior.
OpenHarness shifts the industry focus from raw model scores to the actual reliability of the system surrounding the LLM.
- –Framework treats the "harness" (the system around the model) as a primary variable in performance, enabling teams to benchmark how orchestration impacts final outcomes.
- –Deterministic playback mode allows for reproducible testing of non-deterministic LLM logic, ensuring that evaluation runs are consistent in standard CI/CD pipelines.
- –Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support facilitates standardized tool-use benchmarking across different model providers and development environments.
- –Two-phase history compaction (pruning and summarization) prevents performance degradation in long-running sessions, addressing a critical metric for production-ready agents.
- –Lightweight TypeScript SDK approach makes it significantly easier to integrate into existing production codebases compared to "heavyweight" agent frameworks.
