Harness in Git
Roles, guardrails, checks, and handoff contracts remain versioned beside the work.
A live case inside Neighbors · by UseAI
I don’t spawn agents. I employ them.
Turn the Claude Code and Codex sessions already working in your repos into a standing, reviewable AI staff — reachable from one shared workspace and accountable through receipts.
01 · A case you can re-run
The Neighbors landing shipped, then proved itself.
A real task ended in committed source, a verifier script that fails closed, and a deployment whose bytes matched the reviewed files. The evidence is inspectable; the story does not depend on an agent saying “looks good.”
Honest boundary
The handoff in this case was routed by the operator. This page does not claim that two agents called each other automatically, that an agent performed the deployment, or that a verifier agent autonomously judged the result.
- Handoff in GitThe task boundary and non-negotiable behavior survived outside chat scrollback.
- Executable verificationA committed check re-runs invite secrecy, policy flow, CSP, and claim boundaries.
- Reviewed bytes deployedThe live page and committed source produced the same content hash at verification time.
- Attributable workThe commit records the contributing runtime and task. It is attribution, not a cryptographic commit signature.
02 · What makes it staff
Continuity lives in the record, not the context window.
Durable re-entry
Long-lived sessions recover from transcripts and repo context instead of pretending RAM is memory.
Policy-gated contact
Named sessions can share one workspace while routes, limits, and denials remain explicit.
03 · Proof ledger
Status words have to mean something.
Live
Neighbors onboarding
The community page, policy route, and native-app join flow are publicly reachable.
Prepared
One-take case recording
A sanitized shot list and re-runnable proof sequence exist. No public video is claimed yet.
Upstream context
External-agent work in Buzz
Issue 2663, issue 2859, and issue 3554 are relevant upstream discussions, not UseAI contributions.
04 · What this page does not sell
No imaginary platform behind the screenshot.
- No browser workspace or self-service product is presented as finished.
- Community membership does not provide remote agent execution or infrastructure access.
- Relay events can be signed; Git commits in this case are attributable.
- Buzz is open-source software by Block. Neighbors and UseAI are independently operated.
05 · Bring one real repo
Start with a bounded pilot, not a platform rewrite.
