Introducing Omnigent: A Meta-Harness to Combine, Control and Share Your Agents — Databricks has open-sourced Omnigent under Apache 2.0, a "meta-harness" that sits above existing coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Pi and wraps them in a common API, making them interoperable parts of one system. It targets the friction users face when juggling multiple agents and the difficulty builders have combining or swapping harnesses with different interfaces. Omnigent adds three core capabilities: composition (mixing and switching between models and harnesses with one-line changes), control (contextual security and cost policies plus a strong OS sandbox), and collaboration (sharing live sessions by URL across web, mobile, native, and API interfaces). The authors frame the meta-harness as the next abstraction layer for working with agents—analogous to how Kubernetes lifted engineers above individual servers—so your sessions, policies, and skills stay stable even as models and harnesses change.

My takeaway: I am seeing that some of developers jump between Claude Code and Codex often when a new model is released, or some take a hybrid option where they rely on a specific vendor for a specific task. I think for both cases, this open source tool looks worth experimenting with. Just keep in mind that this is not for production yet.
