Description

Summary

Run a discovery spike for lower-confidence or broader-market coding harness targets before splitting implementation issues.

Context

These tools appear to have local CLI, agent, or automation surfaces, but each needs verification before committing to first-class Relay support.

Candidates:

Scope

  • Confirm each tool has a local spawnable CLI suitable for Relay.
  • Identify non-interactive/headless command flags and auth requirements.
  • Check whether each supports MCP/config hooks, ACP, JSON output, or another structured integration point.
  • Rank candidates by implementation cost and expected user value.
  • Split concrete harness issues for candidates that pass the spike.

Acceptance

  • A short matrix records viable vs non-viable candidates with source links.
  • Follow-up implementation issues are created for viable candidates.
  • Non-viable candidates have explicit rationale so they are not rediscovered repeatedly.
