Open Max Treats Agent Capability as a File

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source Rust harness for running coding agents in the terminal and letting them extend their own toolbox.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The harness keeps only its core schemas on the wire until an agent writes an extension into the project, then re-freezes the toolbox so the new capability is available on the next step. The page documents TOML tools, SKILL.md packages, hooks, permission rules, and prompt templates, along with openmax --check for validation and --spec for the authoring contract. Approval records are described as hash-chained, while the page explicitly distinguishes these gates from operating-system isolation.
