At a glance

An MIT-licensed terminal agent, invoked as `omp`, that layers LSP and debugger tooling, browser control, first-class subagents, MCP, ACP, RPC, and a large provider catalog onto Pi's extensible base.

Good choice if

  • Terminal users who want IDE-grade code intelligence and debugger access
  • Parallel tasks with typed subagent results and isolated worktrees
  • Provider-flexible automation through one-shot, RPC, ACP, and SDK entry points

Check before choosing

  • The default approval mode is yolo, destructive-command overrides do not force a prompt in that mode, and subagents also run yolo; safer always-ask/write and per-tool policies require explicit configuration
  • Task copy-on-write or worktree isolation separates delegated file changes but is not a documented OS-level sandbox for the primary process, browser, debugger, shell, or local MCP servers
  • Checkpoint and rewind are disabled by default and prune conversation context only: they do not restore working-tree files, Git state, artifacts, processes, or external side effects
See 4 more considerations
  • Cross-session memory is disabled by default and model-generated; it must be checked against the current repository rather than treated as authoritative state
  • Secret obfuscation is disabled by default, while extensions and hooks run in-process without isolation and can block or rewrite tool calls, access session state, or terminate the session if they fail outside guarded handlers; revised inputs are schema-revalidated and pass through the approval gate before execution
  • The large built-in surface (browser/CDP, debugger, eval kernels, SSH, MCP, collaboration, media, and high-concurrency agents) expands setup and trust boundaries
  • Project-owned compaction and local-model evaluations plus README performance claims are not independent harness benchmarks, so no score is imported

Getting started

Install `omp`, connect a provider, and change `tools.approvalMode` from the default `yolo` before using it on sensitive repositories.

Classification and operating model

Category fit and technical mechanisms are evidence records, not product-quality scores.

Why it qualifies as a coding harness

This confirms category fit, not product quality. Every required criterion links back to first-party evidence.

Qualifies4 of 4 required criteria evidenced
  • Adaptive agent loop

    Documented

    The system repeatedly observes results and chooses the next action instead of following a fixed one-pass graph.

  • Repository tool execution

    Documented

    The system can use tools to inspect and change a repository or its execution environment.

  • Task-aware context management

    Documented

    The runtime assembles, updates, compacts, retrieves, or persists task-relevant context while work proceeds.

  • Model-independent runtime control

    Documented

    Permissions, budgets, interruption, policy, or stop controls operate outside the model's own text generation.

Membership establishes category fit only. It does not score quality, safety, autonomy, model capability, or benchmark performance. · Read the membership rule.

How it works under the hood

Seven mechanisms mapped from first-party records. These labels describe what the harness provides, not how intelligent its model is.

The 17.1.7 monorepo has broad automated tests, one public workflow, evaluation kernels, context-compression evaluation assets, and local-model engineering experiments. These project-owned artifacts and README performance claims lack the complete independent protocol required for a product benchmark.

Measured configurations

No benchmark run passes the full metadata admission policy for this harness yet. Missing data is not scored as zero.

Public ecosystem signals

Source-native observations for exact mapped artifacts and reviewed stable release trains. Different units and populations stay separate, and missing coverage is never treated as zero.
