Continue development with another coding agent

Use the project’s harness to help a new coding agent follow the application’s conventions. The harness supplies tailored guidance, skills and memory for the project.

1. Make the project source available in the workspace your agent will open.
2. Keep its existing guidance and memory files with the source.
3. Connect OwlMeans MCP and select the intended project location and inference mode.
4. Install or review the harness for that agent.
5. Ask it to inspect the project and current stories before making changes.
6. Start with a small story and review the app afterward.

For Task Grove, ask the new agent to explain the existing task ownership rule, then add one due-date filter. This gives you a clear result to compare with the current app.

Local or delegated inference uses the connected coding agent to perform work. It does not automatically mean an on-device model or free inference. Your agent provider’s charges may still apply.

Guides are available for Claude Code in VS Code, Codex in VS Code and GitHub Copilot.
