New v2.17.61 — Living cards submit reliably; Overlord stays local Changelog →

Your coding agents, alive. A meta-harness that controls other harnesses.

PorkiCoder is a meta harness for coding agents. Run Claude Code, Codex, and Grok Build side by side as living terminal cards — prompt, interrupt, and supervise each session without restarting the terminal underneath.

Terminal or living card. Switch any pane between the raw terminal and a living agent card without restarting. The card follows local PTY output; the 77M namer labels each turn in 29.3 ms in our M4 Max benchmark.

// core philosophy What a meta-harness is

A Meta-Harness makes orchestrating your agentic tools easier and more intuitive.

Easier means faster and smarter. Intuitive means you never read the manual first.

Put your AI subscriptions on call.

The bundled MCP server exposes consult_claude_code, consult_codex, and consult_grok_build. Any of those three CLIs can now act as the master and ask either of the other two for a focused second opinion without spending PorkiCoder API credits or opening another window.

Bounded by design. Every call needs your explicit approval, receives only the question and context you choose, and runs read-only in a private temporary workspace. The worker cannot inspect your repository, edit files, run shell commands, browse, call MCP tools, or silently fall back to a paid API.

These subscription-backed tools have no repository access and no paid-API fallback.

  • Uses your existing Claude Code, ChatGPT/Codex, or Grok Build subscription login
  • Consumes subscription quota, not PorkiCoder API credits
  • Claude consults can pin the exact claude-fable-5 runtime with Max effort
  • Returns advisory markdown from only the bounded context you provide
  • The porkicoder-consult MCP server auto-registers with all three masters, with no manual MCP configuration

Same 77M. Our titles.

The frozen Google FLAN-T5-small download never saw our tabs. After a small extra training pass, the same 77-million-weight graph scored 7.28 versus 3.12 for Google's original weights on 500 held-out coding-agent tasks — a paired +4.17 (465 better, 9 ties, 26 worse).

Two later never-seen holdouts: continuing on a leak-checked mix reached 7.59 / 85.7% and 7.55 / 84.5% versus the previous trained file. Scores are from an identity-blind Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite judge, not humans. English coding-session titles only; do not mix these Terminal-board numbers with the sealed Stack Overflow result.

// terminal overlord · approval log

Walk away. Keep Codex moving.

Forgot to hit /permissions allow all with Codex before starting work? Turn on Overlord. HOGSPHERE handles supported approval prompts as they appear without killing the session, and records every approval in a visible log.

  • No session restart
  • Logged approvals
  • Human input always wins

Explicit auto-approval mode. One-time approvals are preferred when available; the provider sandbox and macOS remain the containment boundary.

// terminal tool · render_copyable

The useful part, ready to copy.

Ask your agent to turn a command, snippet, URL, or handoff into a clean one-click card inside the terminal. No hunting through scrollback or carefully selecting terminal text.

  • One-click copy
  • Clear character count
  • Right where you work

The control plane for your coding agents.

Keep the real terminal. Change how you see it, supervise the run, and bring in more agents when one answer is not enough.

01

Mix living cards and raw terminals

Keep two agents as living cards and one as a raw CLI, side by side. Drop any pane back into its live terminal without disrupting the grid, then switch it back when you want the card again. Same PTY, no restart.

02

Prompt from the living card

Send a prompt, interrupt the run, grow the composer for longer instructions, and paste images into supported agent cards. The input writes into the terminal session already running underneath, so avatar mode never becomes a separate chat.

03

Kimi K3 inside Grok Build

Run Kimi K3 as a native Grok Build agent with tools, maximum reasoning, and long context through PorkiCoder's managed gateway. Remote inference on our own US servers keeps the provider credential out of the app and terminal environment.

More in the harness

Smart local tabs

Tabs follow the shell's live working directory. A private on-device model can name a submitted shell command or human agent prompt, while manual names stay authoritative.

Remote Workspaces beta

Pair two Macs for terminal-only access. The host is off by default; an opt-in nearby preview can prefer a direct LAN path. If that direct path drops, PorkiCoder reconnects through its end-to-end encrypted cloud relay. Settings shows and can end detached sessions.

Live agent telemetry

Living cards show WORKING, YOUR TURN, IDLE, SHELL, and STALLED with elapsed time, context, output, turns, and queued follow-ups.

One tool plane across agents

PorkiCoder auto-registers PorkiConsult and Render Copyable with supported coding harnesses, so the same controls follow every session.

Local runtime awareness

Card extraction and the 77M-parameter naming model run on your Mac. The meta-harness reads the real terminal session, keeps turn labels local, and uses managed routes only for features that need them.

Everything else is in the docs

Shortcuts, Overlord gates, remote terminals, tab naming, and the full PorkiConsult tool reference.

What exactly is a meta harness for agents?

A meta harness sits above individual agent runtimes. It keeps their native processes intact while adding shared observation, human control, bounded delegation, isolation, and evidence. Our guide defines the category using primary research and official agent-platform documentation.

Living terminal bot cards

Switch the terminal into a living agent card.

Launch Claude Code, Codex, or Grok Build normally, then press ⌘P to see the same PTY as a live card. Prompt, interrupt, paste images, or return one pane to raw terminal view without restarting anything.

Terminal Overlord

Keep a trusted session moving while you step away.

Type codex overlord, claude overlord, or grok overlord. HOGSPHERE handles supported approval prompts, yields to your keyboard, and records every autonomous approval.

PorkiConsult

Give your agent a bounded second opinion.

Ask the current CLI to consult one of the other two local subscriptions. The worker sees only the question and context you approve, runs read-only, and returns advice to the session already in front of you.
