Scenario 3: Override harness preferences for one repository

Frequency: Common · Status: Shipped

← Back to scenarios index

Use this when your global preference is not the right fit for a specific repo. For example, you may usually author in Claude Code but want one project to use Codex as the canonical harness.

Typical commands:

harnesstap harness project set --project . --main codex --aliases claude-code,cursor
harnesstap harness project status --project .

You can also set --materialization-strategy symlink-preferred or copy when the project needs a specific write strategy. See Scenario 13 for the tradeoff.
