Harnesses

Harness reference

Supported coding harnesses, native capability differences, and host-specific behavior.

woostack's skill logic should work in any harness that loads and follows skills. The harnesses in this section are the integrations woostack explicitly documents. Native capabilities such as subagent dispatch, working-directory placement, model selection and routing, PTY execution, profile isolation, and credential boundaries differ by host. A missing capability degrades visibly or blocks the workflow; woostack never pretends the integration succeeded.

Hermes is not a harness in this list. It is an external engineer that may drive one persistent OMP process; the top-level Hermes guide owns that boundary. Woostack installs in the coding harness, and the harness retains implementation, worker, and process authority.

For normal in-process OMP use, host-owned role routing selects init-managed project workers while OMP owns concrete models, provider credentials, and fallback policy. External Hermes does not change that installation or worker boundary.

The model-tier reference defines the shared fast, standard, and deep policy. Each page below links to its canonical host reference for the exact mechanics.
