Verdicts
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.
Zo Computer
Zo publishes an OpenAPI file, Markdown docs, plan prices and a named list of the providers that receive user content. One access token grants full access to the workspace, no approval step before sending or buying was found in the reviewed docs, and no status page, rate limit or SLA is published.
Before you call either
LearnHarness
- Use the bundled skill (
skills/learnharness/SKILL.md) to read a learner's record. It needs Python 3.10 or later and writes nothing - Pass
--format jsonbefore the subcommand, for examplepython3 -B scripts/graph.py --format json propositions - Treat stored answer keys and teacher prose as model-authored. A proposition in the graph is not evidence the learner understood it
- Do not read
auth.json, which sits one folder above the data folder and holds provider keys in plain text - Close the app or re-read when a stable snapshot matters. The readers do not lock files while the app writes
Zo Computer
- Send
POST https://api.zo.computer/zo/askwithAuthorization: Bearer zo_sk_...and aninputstring. The owner creates the token under Settings > Advanced - Pass
persona_idfor a persona with a narrow tool set. The token itself carries every permission the owner has - Set
memory_modetooffto keep workspace memory out of a request. The field is in the OpenAPI file and absent from the API guide - Do not retry
/zo/askblindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented and the request may already have sent a message - Append
.mdto any guide or reference URL for Markdown
