CLI
Agent Harnesses
Choose the default harness for an agent from the Spinup CLI.
Harness commands choose the default harness for an agent through the public /v1 API. See Harnesses for the concept. OpenClaw and Hermes are the supported harnesses today, and runtime /exec calls can still override the default with the harness request field.
Change the default harness
spinup agents harnesses default agent_01hxyz... openclawUse --slug when you already have the agent slug:
spinup agents harnesses default support-agent hermes --slugJSON output
spinup agents harnesses default agent_01hxyz... hermes --jsonDefault harness changes follow the same reconciliation path as dashboard harness changes. A ready environment may move into a pending reconciliation state while the runtime applies the new default.
