Ori Harness

About Ori Harness
Ori Harness is a CLI wrapper designed to simplify running popular AI agent tools—such as Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenCode, and Pi—through OpenRouter. It eliminates the need for developers to manage individual API keys by using OAuth sign-in to connect to an existing OpenRouter account. The tool applies org-level guardrails, including model allowlists and spending caps, ensuring consistent policy enforcement across every agent. Users can switch models for any agent with a single flag, streamlining experimentation and deployment. All usage and costs are consolidated into a single OpenRouter bill, reducing administrative overhead. Ori Harness operates transparently beneath existing agent commands and configurations, requiring no workflow changes. This makes it ideal for teams that want centralized control over AI agent usage while maintaining flexibility in model selection.
