The combined power-user stack
Every algorithm from this week in one list: control planes, research-origin loops, infra under the agent, and systems-language harnesses. Deduped, clone-and-run, no household CLIs.

The stack
- 01harnessGitHubAgenvoy↗
agenvoy
Self-hosted AI agent harness in a single Go binary. Writes, sandbox-tests, and repairs its own code. No Electron, no account.
Use caseUse it as a local coding worker you can scp onto a box and run unattended against a failing test suite.
goself-hostedself-repair - 02toolGitHubcmux↗
manaflow-ai
Open-source Ghostty-based macOS terminal with vertical tabs and notifications for AI coding agents.
Use caseUse it as the terminal surface when you are running a swarm of CLIs and need to see which one just finished.
terminalmacosnotifications - 03harnessGitHubContainarium↗
FootprintAI
Open-source agent runtime with SSH-native isolation, eBPF egress policy, Kubernetes and LXC backends.
Use caseUse it to run untrusted coding agents with real network policy instead of hope.
isolationebpfruntime - 04toolGitHubcontext-mode↗
mksglu
Context-window surgery for coding agents. Sandboxes tool output so the model sees the signal instead of a 40k-token log.
Use caseUse it when your agent keeps blowing the window on build logs and you need the loop to survive a real compile.
contexttool outputcoding agents - 05toolGitHubCUA↗
trycua
Open-source computer-use 2.0: drivers, cross-OS fleets, and benchmarks for training and evaluating desktop agents.
Use caseUse it to give a coding agent a real desktop when the job is a GUI installer, not an API.
computer usedesktopbenchmarks - 06harnessGitHubDeepCode↗
HKUDS
Open agentic coding from HKU: agent harness, loop engineering, multi-agent orchestration. Academic lab software that ships as a repo you run.
Use caseUse it when you want a research harness with a real coding loop, not a chatbot with extra steps.
researchharnessmulti-agent - 07toolGitHubGhostex↗
maddada
Rust and GPUI native agent CLI manager for macOS. Ghostty terminals plus Codex-app UX, without Electron.
Use caseUse it to manage a stack of native agent CLIs in Ghostty instead of a webview IDE.
rustmacosterminal - 08harnessGitHubgraff↗
justrach
Fast agentic coding harness in Zig: multi-provider, MCP, workflows.
Use caseUse it when you want a coding loop with systems-language latency, not a Node daemon.
zigharnessmcp - 09harnessGitHubHerdr↗
herdrdev
The runtime your coding agents live on. Not another chat wrapper: a place agents persist, resume, and share a machine.
Use caseUse it when you want agents to survive a laptop sleep and pick up the same checkout, secrets, and tools.
runtimepersistenceagents - 10harnessGitHubIroncurtain↗
provos
Secure runtime for autonomous agents. Policy from plain-English constitutions.
Use caseUse it when you will not give a coding agent root and still want it to act.
securityruntimepolicy - 11harnessGitHubLoopX↗
huangruiteng
A long-horizon control plane that keeps coding agents on durable, governed work instead of one-shot chats. Power users treat it as the supervisor, not another model.
Use caseUse it to keep an overnight refactor alive across tool crashes, with a human gate on the risky steps.
control planelong-horizonorchestration - 12harnessGitHubmcp-agent↗
lastmile-ai
Build effective agents with Model Context Protocol and small workflow patterns.
Use caseUse it to compose MCP servers into a durable agent without standing up a full IDE plugin.
