Telemetry is described as optional and disabled in Settings or with TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false, which reads as on by default (15 of 30). Worktree per task and remote machines over SSH (10 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). No security policy file found (3). 15 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 38.\n- Sculptor (57): Harness reading. Product analytics, error reporting and session recording default to off in the user config, and the app asks for a telemetry level and privacy consent at first run; PostHog runs on the front end only for now (25 of 30). Each workspace is an isolated copy of the code (14 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). SECURITY.md (8). 25 + 14 + 5 + 5 + 8 = 57.\n\n### Reliability: Emdash +12\n\n- Emdash (55): Local software. Homebrew cask and installers for macOS, Windows and Linux (20). A code-consistency check and release workflows; no test workflow found (10). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Stable tags to v1.2.11, release notes on GitHub (10). Version 1.2.11 (15). 20 + 10 + 0 + 10 + 15 = 55.\n- Sculptor (43): Local software. Desktop downloads for Mac (Apple Silicon), Linux and Linux ARM64 (20). checks.yml and a PR gate run on the repository; pass state not read (15). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). sculptor-v tags up to v0.49.0, no changelog file (8). 0.x and labelled a research preview (0). 20 + 15 + 0 + 8 + 0 = 43.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Emdash +10\n\n- Emdash (55): Harness reading. Docs site and a workspace server package (55).\n- Sculptor (45): Harness reading. A README, specs and agent docs in the repository; no API reference (45).\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Emdash +5\n\n- Emdash (55): Harness reading. Issue intake from Linear, GitHub, Jira and others, diff review, pull requests and CI checks in one place, local or over SSH (55).\n- Sculptor (50): Harness reading. Workspaces as isolated copies, review and merge back, and built-in skills (50).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Sculptor +5\n\n- Emdash (70): v1.2.11 on 6 November 2026 (30). v1.2.9, v1.2.10 and v1.2.11 within two weeks (20). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Current installers and Homebrew cask (15). Release workflows, no test CI (5). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 5 = 70.\n- Sculptor (75): Commits on 6 November 2026 and frequent tagged versions (30). More than three releases in 90 days (20). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent; the README says Imbue can't take many outside contributions yet (0). Current official downloads (15). CI on pull requests (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Emdash | Sculptor | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 55 | 43 | Emdash +12 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 55 | 45 | Emdash +10 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 55 | 50 | Emdash +5 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 38 | 57 | Sculptor +19 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 70 | 75 | Sculptor +5 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 54 | 57 | Sculptor +3 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **53.9 · D** | **53.1 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Emdash | Sculptor |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | General Action, Inc. | Imbue, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | None | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | MIT |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | no |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 | 2026-11-06 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Emdash.** A mature open-source app for parallel coding agents in Git worktrees, with issue intake from a dozen trackers and remote machines over SSH.

Launch with TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false if you don't want telemetry\n2. Use the SSH mode to keep agents on a remote machine\n\n### Sculptor\n\n1. Download from the README's links, connect a repository and create a workspace before prompting\n2. Review the diff before merging a workspace back to main\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Emdash or Sculptor?\n\nEmdash and Sculptor score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 53.9 (D) and 53.1 (D).
