Omnigent — meta-harness for AI agents
Takeaways
- Omnigent (omnigent.ai) is an open-source meta-harness: a common layer over Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and custom agents — swap harnesses without rewriting.
- Composition: combine models, harnesses, and techniques; built-in agents Polly (coding orchestrator) and Debby (model debate); custom agents in YAML.
- Governance: contextual policies (spend caps, model routing, risk-based escalation); secure OS sandbox (Omnibox) for filesystem/network restrictions and credential brokering.
- Architecture: runner wraps agents in sandboxed sessions (local, Modal, or Daytona) → server adds policies + shared history → terminal, web, native/mobile apps, REST API.
- Status: alpha, built in the open.
Notes
Addresses a gap above individual harnesses: multi-agent collaboration on the same live session from any device, with policy and sandboxing as first-class concerns. Install: curl -fsSL https://omnigent.ai/install.sh | sh.
Open questions
- How does Omnigent compare to running Claude Code + custom MCP/policy layers directly?
- Production-readiness of alpha policies and Omnibox for YOLO-mode coding?
