Show HN: LiteHarness – One SDK for Claude Agent, OpenAI Agent, Pi AI
We built this library because agent harnesses were too fragmented and we needed a simple abstraction to call multiple coding-agent SDKs.
lite-harness has one function - query()
import { query } from "@lite-harness/sdk";
for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Fix the failing test", options: { // swap harness between: "claude-agent", "openai-agents", "pi-ai" harness: "openai-agents", model: "gpt-5.5", }, })) { console.log(message); }

Ask HN: Feedback on an AI-driven "Life RPG" for real-world skill building?
Hi, HN.
I'm newbie here, but I'm getting the hang of things quickly. I'm currently working on a concept for an app that turns real-life self-development and skill leveling into a true RPG.
I'm a tech specialist (I code in Python, creating AI assistants), and I'm tired of boring, dry task managers. I want to create a system that truly keeps the user focused on their goals. I think many of us have played character-leveling games, where, unlike in real life, you know where to go and what to do, and most importantly, what you can get for it.
The Core Concept.
AI Game Master/Mentors: Instead of static task lists, AI acts as a mentor, adapting the difficulty of "quests" to the user's actual level. The AI always knows what skills the user has already developed and what quests they are currently taking. Therefore, different users will receive different personalized answers to the same question. Moreover, my AI isn't just a LLM connected via API. I've compiled a RAG database of knowledge with specific biohacking exercises, tested by thousands of people.
Skill Trees: Leveling up real skills (health, finances, thinking, etc.) is visualized like a skill tree in games like World of Warcraft or Witcher, but personalized to the user's personality type (identified by testing).
RAG Context: The system remembers the user's life context and helps them overcome learning plateaus.
Current State. The project is currently in the architecture development stage and the creation of local automation scripts. I don't have a finished public prototype to show right now, but I'm actively developing the logic of the AI modules. I have a tree with 45+ skills and 200+ quests for leveling them; there's a user profile where they can enter their personal information and see what percentile of people in the world they fall into based on their success.
Research I found competitors with ready-made solutions, analyzed them, and identified their strengths and weaknesses. I also conducted a small blind survey of my target audience. I was satisfied with the results.
Plus, I already have some contacts with my interested target audience, which will be the first active users.
I plan to launch this as a Telegram mini-app first, because that's where my main target audience is, and it's easy to monetize through Stars. Then, I'll expand to a mobile and web app. I've also already thought through the Freemium concept—a free core for everyone, with a paid subscription for those who want more.
As experienced founders, what do you think I should focus on initially and what constitutes a ready-made MVP (I have a problem with perfectionism, where it seems like a project isn't ready for demonstration yet)?
Where should an indie developer look for early-stage mentors, advisors, or supportive communities for this kind of AI-first consumer product?
What would be your immediate next steps if you were building this solo?
I'd be happy to recommend resources that are willing to encourage such initiatives and allocate grants, tokens, etc.
P.S. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have in more detail.
