## Which one, for what

### Boski (F)

Good for: People who want an agent working on personal goals between conversations, and who want ChatGPT or Codex to read their saved preferences.

Watch for: No free plan or trial found.

### LearnHarness (C)

Good for: A tutor for one learner that keeps a local record of sessions and a graph of propositions and reasoning chains.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 56 against 25
- Schema & documentation, 63 against 15
- Agent ergonomics, 60 against 13
- Security & auth, 52 against 45
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 10
- Maintenance & community, 71 against 23

Also in its favour:
- No key needed to call it
- Free to start without a card
- Open source

Watch for: The read, ls, find and grep tools resolve against the home directory with no allow list, and their output goes to the model provider

## Verdicts

**Boski.** Boski is a hosted personal agent that works on its owner's goals over messaging channels for $5 a week, and its plugin lets ChatGPT and Codex read saved preferences under a read-only OAuth scope. No free option, status page or security contact was found, and the plugin's tool definitions weren't readable.

**LearnHarness.** The in-app agent reads files but cannot change them or run commands, and a bundled skill gives other agents a documented read-only view of sessions and the knowledge graph. The project is 14 days old at 0.4.0, its file reads reach the whole home directory without approval, and it has no security policy.

## Before you call either

### Boski

1. Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes.
2. Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry.

### LearnHarness

1. Use the bundled skill (`skills/learnharness/SKILL.md`) to read a learner's record. It needs Python 3.10 or later and writes nothing
2. Pass `--format json` before the subcommand, for example `python3 -B scripts/graph.py --format json propositions`
3. Treat stored answer keys and teacher prose as model-authored. A proposition in the graph is not evidence the learner understood it
4. Do not read `auth.json`, which sits one folder above the data folder and holds provider keys in plain text
5. Close the app or re-read when a stable snapshot matters. The readers do not lock files while the app writes

## Disclosure

- Boski competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
