$ find your agent harness

MIT-licensed Python framework (~55k stars) for role-based multi-agent 'Crews' plus event-driven 'Flows', with unified memory, hierarchical delegation, and a commercial AMP cloud platform (free tier, Pro from ~$25/mo, enterprise) that CrewAI says powered ~2B agentic executions in the year to January 2026.

The Cline/Roo merger-fork turned all-in-one agentic platform (~26k stars, 3M+ users): IDE extension, CLI, and hosted KiloClaw background agent reachable via Telegram/Discord/Slack, with 500+ models, mid-task model switching, an MCP marketplace, subagents (GA April 2026), and optional Kilo Pass credits from $19/mo.

Apache-2.0 platform for stateful agents descended from MemGPT, distinguished by tiered self-editing memory persisted in a database (core memory in-context, archival out-of-context) plus 2026 research on git-based 'Context Repositories' and memory-native RL; in 2026 the company is consolidating around Letta Code, an open, model-agnostic memory-first coding agent harness (LettaBot archived May 2026 and folded in as Channels).

Copilot's agent mode inside VS Code (extension itself MIT open-sourced; backend service proprietary) iterates on errors, runs tools/terminal, and applies multi-file edits, distinguished by deep GitHub-ecosystem reach: MCP support, SKILL.md Agent Skills (added April 2026), custom .agent.md agents, a multi-vendor model picker with Ollama BYOK, and a cloud 'coding agent' that works issues into PRs on GitHub Actions.

JetBrains' autonomous coding agent for IntelliJ-family IDEs (plus a Junie CLI that left beta March 2026 with BYOK/OpenRouter routing and CI/CD support), distinguished by leverage of the IDE's code index, a confirmation-gated loop with opt-in 'Brave Mode', Docker/worktree-isolated parallel tasks, remote cloud execution mode, and a companion Claude Agent built on Anthropic's Agent SDK.
