The value of Claude Code the harness isn't that great. There's a lot of other good harnesses out there.

What’s your favourite harness? Is there any benchmarks for harness like LLMs have for swe verified?
You can check my profile for which one I like most :) I do think there have been efforts to benchmark different harnesses.
Personally I'm not going to choose one harness or another based on +/- a few percentage points in a benchmark. I'm going to use one the one that I find the most ergonomic, that isn't too bloated, etc. The models are the primary lever, not the harness.
I thought so, and then I tried Opencode and Codex and started to appreciate Claude Code a lot more. They've actually done great work with the small details.
Good or better? Curious which would be in either bucket.
Probably a matter of taste. I prefer the harness I wrote, I don't want to go near Anthropic's bloated mess of a harness with a 10-meter pole.
And it gets dragged down by Anthropic actively injecting unhelpful things into prompts without telling users about them (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/58262).
