Favorite harness
This skill selects defaults; it does not orchestrate or launch by itself. Match rows top-to-bottom, and preserve each table value the user did not explicitly override. When a caller launches, use the complete autonomous command shown.
| Job | Harness | Model | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orchestration, final review, security review | Claude | Fable 5.1 | xhigh |
| Implementation | Codex | GPT-5.6 Sol | high; xhigh only if stuck |
| Tests, retrieval, checking, creating issues | Cursor Agent | Grok 4.6 Fast | high; medium if mechanical |
| Anything that is not tool/repo work | Kimi Code CLI | K3 | max |
# Claude — Fable xhigh
claude --model fable --effort xhigh --dangerously-skip-permissions
# Codex — Sol high (stuck → xhigh)
codex -m gpt-5.6-sol --approve-for-me -c 'model_reasoning_effort="high"'
codex -m gpt-5.6-sol --approve-for-me -c 'model_reasoning_effort="xhigh"'
# Cursor Agent — Grok 4.6 high fast (mechanical → medium fast)
agent --model cursor-grok-4.6-high-fast --yolo --sandbox disabled
agent --model cursor-grok-4.6-medium-fast --yolo --sandbox disabled
# Kimi Code CLI — K3 max. No launch-time effort flag; send /effort max once idle.
kimi -m k3 --yolo
In Herdr, --kind is claude / codex / cursor / kimi. Pass everything after the executable after --.
Never pin Fable max, Sol max, or Grok xhigh. Do not put Kimi on a tool loop. Do not use Opus unless the user asks.
