Hey HN! Wanted to show our open source agent harness called Gambit. If you’re not familiar, agent harnesses are sort of like an operating system for an agent... they handle tool calling, planning, context window management, and don’t require as much developer orchestration. Normally you might see an agent orchestration framework pipeline like: compute -> compute -> compute -> LLM -> compute -> compute -> LLM we invert this so with an agent harness, it’s more like: LLM -> LLM -> LLM -> compute -> LLM -> LLM -> compute -> LLM Essentially you describe each agent in either a self contained…

Very excited to share Anvil. I built Anvil to take back control when working with parallel coding agents. It comes with one click worktree isolation, and first class spec support. Claude Code and similar coding TUIs are very eager to get into writing code, even before their human baby sitter fully understands the implication of what they are about to build. The core insight with Anvil is that it is much easier to write high quality code which matches the author's intent after iterating on an external plan with your agent. Align on the architecture, implementation, and verification strategy…
