- OpenCode: The Open Source AI Coding Agent for Terminal, Desktop, and IDE (2026) →
OpenCode lets you connect any model from any provider — Claude, GPT, Gemini, GLM-5.2, local Ollama — in terminal, desktop, or IDE. With LSP auto-loading, parallel sessions, share links, and optional OpenCode Zen curated models, it is one of 2026's default open-source harnesses. How it maps to agent harness design and when to pick it over Pi or Claude Code.
- Pi Agent Harness: Mario Zechner's Minimal Coding Agent You Can Own (2026) →
Pi's tagline is blunt: there are many agent harnesses, but this one is yours. Built by Mario Zechner (badlogic), Pi ships a small core — no baked-in MCP, sub-agents, or plan mode — and lets you extend everything via skills, extensions, and npm packages. Here is how Pi fits the harness layer we define in our agent harness guide, and why OpenClaw embeds it.
- Codex With Open Source Models: Ollama, OSS Mode, and Local Providers Guide →
Tibo Sottiaux confirmed Codex runs any OSS model—not just GPT. This hands-on guide covers ollama launch codex, --oss flags, profile v2 config, model picks, 64k context requirements, and what still needs GPT (browser, computer use).
- Agent Skills Whitepaper: Kaggle Guide to Procedural Memory for AI Agents →
A 62-page whitepaper explains why Agent Skills became the cross-platform standard: procedural memory, on-demand loading vs context rot, evaluation under co-load, and why one agent + 100 skills beats 100 subagents for many workflows.
