No outside agent can call it, no price is published, new sign-ups may meet a capacity waitlist, and materials train models unless the owner opts out.\n\n**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.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Instinct\n\n1. Don't look for an endpoint. app.instinct.com/mcp serves the web app shell and refuses POST with 405.\n2. Confirm any purchase with the owner. The terms say Actions may not be reversible.\n\n### LearnHarness\n\n1. Use the bundled skill (`skills/learnharness/SKILL.md`) to read a learner's record. It needs Python 3.10 or later and writes nothing\n2. Pass `--format json` before the subcommand, for example `python3 -B scripts/graph.py --format json propositions`\n3. Treat stored answer keys and teacher prose as model-authored. A proposition in the graph is not evidence the learner understood it\n4. Do not read `auth.json`, which sits one folder above the data folder and holds provider keys in plain text\n5. Close the app or re-read when a stable snapshot matters. The readers do not lock files while the app writes\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Instinct or LearnHarness?\n\nLearnHarness scores 59.3 (C) on agent readiness against Instinct's 7.5 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Instinct and LearnHarness open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Instinct. LearnHarness is open source (AGPL-3.0-only).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/instinct-vs-learnharness.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/instinct-vs-learnharness.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"instinct\", \"b\": \"learnharness\"}`.

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.\n",
