OpenDesign Harness isn’t enabled by default yet due to an update issue. We’re working urgently on a fix.
To try it now, go to Settings → OpenDesign Labs → turn on OpenDesign Harness.
Now supports OpenCode, OpenDesign, Codex & Claude Code. More agents on the way!
Yes, the plugin currently relies on a local service bundled with the OpenDesign app, so you’ll need the app installed for it to work. You don’t need to keep the app open, as the service runs in the background. We’ll work on removing this dependency as soon as possible to make setup simpler
