Overview
LongHorizon-Harness wraps existing agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, DeepSeek Harness) in a plan, act, verify, checkpoint loop. A Manager picks the next bounded step, an Executor runs it with fresh context, and an Auditor checks real files, UI and logs before progress is accepted. It ships a CLI and a browser workbench, and reports gains on WeaveBench, OSWorld 2.0 and Terminal-Bench 2.1.
Who it is for: Engineers running long autonomous Claude Code or Codex tasks on macOS or Linux
Strengths
- Separate Auditor inspects actual files, logs and tests before a step counts as progress
- Manager, Executor and Auditor can each use a different backend or model
- Resumable runs stored under .lh-harness/runs, with follow-ups continuing the same run
- README reports Terminal-Bench 2.1 69.7 to 77.2 with Qwen 3.7-Plus on Claude Code
Weaknesses
- macOS is the only tested platform; native Windows is blocked in v0.1.8, WSL2 needed
- Requires a separate agent CLI (codex, claude, opencode or dsh) installed and authenticated
- GUI use needs a computer-use plugin and OS permissions granted by hand on macOS
- DeepSeek backend is CLI-only, returns only final answer, and exposes task text in process args
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Python 3.10+, uv or pip, Node.js 20+, codex, claude, opencode or dsh CLI, computer-use plugin (optional)
- Models: Claude, GPT, Qwen, DeepSeek
- port 8799
