new ones drop almost every day. a lot of them look useful, so i tried them one by one. kept what fit, but mixing them just broke my setup. after resetting the whole thing a few times, i gave up. went back to a plain skill-based workflow i could actually control.
then i messed around with hermes agent. the agent itself wasn’t the point—it was the loop. it gets better as you use it. repeated work turns into reusable skills, mistakes become memory. the system just bends toward how you actually work.
i wanted claude code to do that. no heavy frameworks or endless agent chains. just help claude pick the right harness for the job, create one when nothing fits, and polish the set over time.
built a small thing for this called tink.
three commands: cast (start a task), frog (clean up unused harnesses), and weave (improve existing ones).
everything’s flat files under .tink/. you can see exactly what it’s doing. anything reusable needs explicit approval before getting saved.
still pre-v1 and rough. would love feedback from anyone running into the same harness sprawl. or honestly, tell me if i’m solving a problem that doesn’t exist.
