About the project
A framework for recursive optimization of AI agent harnesses (prompts, tools, memory, skills) without fine-tuning model weights, with JobBench, LAB and WorkBuddy-Bench benchmarks.
Useful for
- Run the local harness2-demo without model credentials
- Run the LAB benchmark with parallel recursion and evaluate results
- Compare base and refined harnesses on JobBench or WorkBuddy-Bench

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 18, 2026, 11:14 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-18 (UTC), 02:46–11:04: 1562 → 2691 stars (+1129). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +2,104 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 143× that of the previous week and a half.
- The repository is 12 days old and already has 2,691 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this month: #58.
- About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 2,037.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
